Curious to see what you do for the door. Will you try to straighten the frame & use it and make a new door?

I added 2x4 gussets front, rear and middle on both sides, here is a better picture.
The old door frame was finished, and I couldn't figure how it could keep the rain out even when it was new !? I have been looking around for ideas for a new door and didn't find anything usefull, so this is what I came up with. First a frame of aluminum angle "iron" installed around the opening.
Then I made a door out of thin aluminum that slips over the frame. There is a gasket on the inside of the door that I hope will seal it. It won't be hinged, just slip on and slip off. It is a work in progress... I haven't as yet figured out how to hold it on with enough pressure to compress the gasket a bit, so while I'm thinkin' I've rigged a bungee cord (not in the picture) to keep it in place...
