the passenger side front fender got bent in and bent the frame just a little bit where the door hinge bolts. So now my door is pushed back and barely opens/closes.

What i need to do is cut on 2/3 sides with my grinder, bend, and weld. I don't care if the welds are perfect or even if they look good.

What should a beginner get to do some simple welds? Something affordable and simple. all we are talking about is heating metal and getting it to stick together. Don't make this out to be rocket science.

I already have a bunch of welding sticks to melt on to there. Some welding worker was using these sticks to weld steel stair railings together.

So I guess all I need is a blow torch or something.

Can anyone give some welding 101. Please please I am trying to fix my car and the frame is intact except this small section where a hinge bolts in.
