Messed up Door Panel 89' 300 SE

Hey guys I'm new here..

okay so i feel like a dumbass already about this.
but i was backing up like enough so i could get the lawn mower out of my garage.. well my door caught on the wheel of the other car in the driveway and I didn't see it because I was looking backward and I kept backing up to catch a glimpse of the door being hyperextended backwards...

The door still works. Like the hinge's and everything work fine but the door will not shut now because there's a metal peice rubbing and stopping the door from shutting..
The pictures below should help explain what i'm saying a little better...

Car is a
1989 Mercedes 300 SE

I need to know the best way to go about fixing this because being a college student, I really dont have the money to have the car fixed..

My idea...

If need be. take door Panel apart.
Beat metal back into place slowly with rubber mallet..

Things I need help with..
