How bad is it bent? I spent over 30 years in body work and if it's bent very bad I would advise letting a professional handle it. They are not fun! It often bends the post (cowl) also and even replacing the hinge won't cure the problem. There are a LOT of tricks to getting a door to align and shut properly that has been hit when it was open. If it's not to bad I used something called a "body bag". It's a VERY tough canvas bag about the size of a large mans hand, filled with sand. You put it in between the door frame and post and gently (sometimes more than gently) close the door AGAINST it to spring the door frame and post back into position without damaging the door or post. Good Luck- you MAY need it.
