As mentioned, use a MIG welder with VERY short bursts of welds. TIG is good as well but most do not have that. You are going to grind most of it away anyway so don't worry how it looks. Use a copper plate for a backer as it will disapate the heat and keep the weld where it should be. Make sure everything is bare and clean too.

Hammer and dolly what you can and learn about hammering "off dolly". If you are not familiar with that , do some reading or ask as you don't want to stretch everything out and fight oil canning.

You may want to practice on something before attempting the door too. Consider the time as a school project.
