Got in an accident and smashed up rear driver's side door. Any tips on banging out the dent? 200

Hey Brick Nation,

It's a sad day in the world of my beloved 89 245. Since having learned to drive as a Massachusetts resident, I have the bad habit of not using turn signals. Unfortunately the lady behind was not able to read my mind, a signaless left turn resulted in my door being smashed.

To make a long story short, I'm shall we say, in between insurance policies (shame on me). So not only to I have to figure out how to fix my baby's door, I have to pay for the damage done to the Camry that hit me- which seems pretty minor, especially compared to my Volvo, but I'm sure it will prove to be quite costly. So I was wondering if any one out there has any tips on banging out dents. It's a pretty large dent, basically the whole door from the handle down. :( I'm not obviously looking to completely eradicate the dent, I just would like to see if I can fix it to the point that I don't wince everytime I get in my car. I greatly appreciate any advice, and do solemnly swear to always use my turn signal from this day forth!

Thanks,
Mikey B
