you need to figure out where it is binding to stop the door from opening... is it at the front fender, or did the rocker get so crushed, the door is now stuck on the sill... either way, if you can't even tackle getting the door open, shouldn't you be sending the car to a body shop instead of trying to fix this yourself?

i don't know how bad it is (worthless without pics) ,but you're going to have to break the door open,maybe even from the inside because you need to unlatch it.
also,removing the fender will help you get to the bolts for the hinges.

^ i would also go to a body shop. if you can't open the door you probably have some damage that you can't see now, like the r/f apperture panel being damaged or needing a pull.
