Any insurance assessors on board?

The saga has ended, nearly; the insurance company has admitted full liability.
They hunted for a door for a couple of weeks and no joy. So....
I had two options cut my loses and take the full pay-out, which wouldn't have bought me another road legal car, or buy the wreck back and get a little cash as well.
Upshot is I have my car back with a rooted door, and a few dollars in the back pocket.
Not a bad outcome I guess, on the plus side the guys in the sheet metal shop outside my office assure me they can fix the door

We need pics, before and after (The repair, not the crash).

I'd be impressed to see a car door fixed "from scratch" - not saying it cant be done, but it definitely aint the norm.

Glad it's all working out for ya.

Here is the after the accident but before the repair....

I warn you the repair is not going to be pretty, nor will it be done quickly but it will be effective......
