Door hitting fender

[Mirraco]

door started hitting my fender one day a couple weeks ago in my 2000 2 door gt.

now, it hit the fender one time, wouldnt let the door open, my dad went out there and bent the fender enough to be able to open the door, but now i need a new fender.

Thing is, this car hit a deer and i replaced the hood, pasenger fender, passenger door, windshield, one of the motor mounts, tires.

Now the driver side fender needs replaced, after i put my system in it, i am in the hole about 3500, and thats not getting the new fender, which would be roughly 150$ to get it and get it installed.
I also recharged the ac, it worked for a couple days and then leaked almost all of it out, im not sure where the leak is but i dont want to spend big money when i can just sell the car instead.

My question, when i get the fender fixed, should i drop this car like a hot potato or keep her? Only has 144,000 miles on it, system is a alpine type x 12" with 1000 watt amp, easily 1000$ system.

Seems like every paycheck i get is going to this car, more like the paycheck is already accounted for before i even get paid, and i hate it.

What do you think? No mechanical issues that I can tell, i put roughly 3k miles on it now.

Take it back to whoever did the body work in the first place, and show them that they didn't fix it right.

and tell them to replace your door hinges. thats the issue

Person was my uncle who has 15 years of body shop, and the car had body parts replaced on the opposite side if you did not read correctly. This is the other side that did not hit the deer and had no body problems when i had it fixed.

Will see how bad hinges are when fender is replaced.

Bump, anyone have input besides bringing it back to a mechanic to fix something right that has never been fixed before.

your hinge is sagging from people leaning on the door over time.. that is the problem.

Damn, might look for some cheaper used one in good condition, cost for this mishap with the door hitting fender is roughly 200-300$.

Im going to be driving my sisters 99 grand am, which has same door issue hitting fender until i can get it fixed, dont want to bend the metal on the door on my grand prix and have to replace that door too, that **** is expensive.

Don't buy a use hinge. It will sag too. Spend money
