Since the doors still "fit perfectly" the damage is minor- and structure

To know for sure you need to get it on a frame machine and have it measured,
then they can tell you if any of the boxes are out and how much pulling it
is going to take.
Setup time for that is non-trivial.
A very experienced body man may be able to measure the boxes on the ground
with a set of portable pointers, which would be a lot cheaper, ask around.
