Body/frame damage

I bought this 95 with body damage. Driver's side door doesn't close properly and the fender cannot bolt to the frame. Whats the best way to fix this problem. I was thinking to cut the frame off of another Maxima and cut and weld. Any and all info is highly appreciated.

Hammer it out as much as you can, then do the spot welding dent removal. Replace any body panels that are damaged.

Find a dealer near you that stocks and sells body panels. You might want to ask your local body shop or have them order the part for you. Bring your registration so they can pull up your vehicle. It's the door post that you need. If you can successfully cut the damaged part out and spot weld the new part in you'll be golden.
