It is VERY straight. No dents or collision damage at all on outside, but....

And I'll be doing a bit of my own welding, in addition to 're-repairs'.
I have the missing bit of metal. It's somewhere in the old shed.
The workshop hadn't been built when I stripped the hardware off the door.

Bought a new, good quality grinder on Sunday. Timing is perfect.
The remaining hinge bolts (one on each hinge) are actually held in place with some of the weld from the previous repair attempt.

Better get a new roll of CIGweld wire for the MIG!
