Putting a side door on an old concrete sectional garage

I have an old concrete sectional garage with a rotten window in the back. The window takes up two of the 4 sections across and 2 of the 4 down ways.

I was wondering how big of a job it would be to replace this with a door? Now the bolts are rusty and may need grinding off but would a wooden frame be enough support for it? Would it be a big job?

Cheers.

    you will be fine with a wooden frame for the door. It won't be carrying a lot of weight, think about it, the rotten window frame and glass is carrying the same weight at the minute.

    will it be a big job? depends on how handy you are. removing sections - easy, constructing and fitting a bespoke door and frame - not so easy.
