Welcome to OSF

 

Complete NOS doors are rare as rocking horse poo and would set you back an arm and a leg if you found them. If your doors are that bad and you can't find a pair of reasonably priced used doors (try contacting Escort Tec and/or GS Escorts, mention the site when talking to them) your best bet may be to re-skin them

Ex-pressed panels do some decent stuff.  I got a fair few panels for my mk2 from there and they were all very good quality.  Front wings lined up very well, they were also the only place I found that actually rolled the steel to the same profile as the original on the door sills I bought from them, everywhere else I found just bend the steel at 90 degrees.  They're not the cheapest place but the steel is a decent gauge and not flimsy tin foil like some places I've used in the past.
