Major Door Problem

[GSXRunner]

My driver door was sagging and it got to the point that I had to do something about it. I planned on loosening the hinge bolts, jacking up the door and tightening, but when I loosened the bolts, I found that the two threaded inserts that hold the hinge to the frame have rusted out and I cannot get my door back on. See attached.

I have the door off now and not sure exactly how to approach this. One idea was to take a piece of metal stock, weld on some nuts and weld it to the frame; although this would raise the hinge slightly from the frame. Another idea was to simply weld the hinge directly to the frame. I'd appreciate if I could get some ideas on how to tackle this. Especially from someone who may have had this problem before and fixed it.

If you know how to weld i would cut the piece out and weld a new one . If you think it's to much for you to handle then bring it to a body shop .

A new one? Where do you get a "new one"? Are you saying a piece of metal stock, or is there actually a part that you can buy and weld in its place?

A piece of metal stock . If you want you should maybe go to a local body shop and see how they would fix it .
