You might get lucky, find a car in a scrappy in the same colour and with both front doors. I got one for £35. Phone around you might find one.

thats well shitty
how about getting a couple of doors and doing all the prep work (rubbing down, priming) yourself to save more cash?
then fit or the bits like cards, windows etc your self afterwards and get the bodyshop to hang em
