Throw a strong back on the wall until the spars are in, or just push and pull to get the spars in and they will true things up(?).
Above the door cut out is the splice joint that runs horizontally the length of the wall. The wall curves outward from the top so it appears the curve is formed by the splice. I can't even bend it true by hand at all. The wall also is warped on the vertical plane at the front end so it is warped in two directions and the deflection is significant. I'll see if I can get a picture of it. It may be something you have to see in person. Looking from the back which is pretty straight, it deflects outward about 2 inches on both planes at the front end.
Trust me, I am really bummed about starting the wall over because like you said, a lot of time and material went into it. I don't want to try to make it work only to have it not work and cost me more time or make it so it isn't fixable. Also being the door side, I am concerned about door fitment and getting a good seal.
I'm going to cut my losses on it because I want this to be as near perfect as I can make it. I'm not a perfectionist, but this too risky for the time and money I am putting into it.
