Default Repairable or Not..

Moving the car out of the garage to put some things up in the attic. I was holding the door open, my foot slipped of the clutch pedal, door came open and hit my blazer.....Is this damage repairable or new door.

New door, it would be cheaper labor wise to just R&R it.

I think it'll be a lot cheaper to replace than repair

Luckily red is a common color

If it were mine, I'd replace it. Check with a place like VetteNuts or Corvette Recycling and see if they have a TR door in stock.

You guys that responded thanks. You all came up with the same thing that I did, that it would be better to replace than to repair it. And to chuckeb84 thanks for the link on the door. Again thanks to all who responded..
