If It Were Your Car

Try to do the work on the quarter, not the edge of the door or deck lid. The compound corner on the quarter panel is likley to warp less badly then the flat hard edge of the swinging panels. As Don mentioned, see if you can wled a piece of steel rod in the biggest area along the top edge, you can use a little all metal filler under the rod to smooth the jam, as long as the majority of the top edge is all weld or steel.

If you have to weld on the edge of a swinging part (looks like you need to on the top edge of the door jam for a couple inches), try to keep that to a minumum. Also make sure you put a heat fence (wet rags) to prevent the heat from traveling into the panel too much. And don;t go crazy and do it all at once, tack, tack, tack is your best friend. DO NOT grind the edge of that door and seperate the edge of the skin, you will kill yourself for it.
