So long story short, someone backed into my 81 last summer and hit the driver side fender/door. Not the worst damage I've seen. You may not even notice it if you didn't know but my question is, how do I fix this?

I don't see any noticeable damage on the door. The crack on the fender. I would lay up a few layers of Glass on the backside of that crack to keep it structurally sound before grinding out the crack and laying up a couple of layers of glass in the crack itself before finishing it back to the original surface. Not a hundred percent sure in that picture if the fender is still in the right place or if it has been sprung. If it is moved you may have to pull the fender or possibly the whole nose off the car and remount it. Let's hope not.

Looking at it some more, it looks like it might have popped loose at the top of the fender. Or it may have just been like that all along too.

Well who ever backed into it, pushed the door back slightly. The fender seems to be in the right place other than the the door being pushed back a little bit, I will se if I can get some more pictures as well. Thanks for the advice!

What does the gap at the back of the door look like?
