any 82-92 camaro or firebird door will fit your car, but if it's got ground effects on it, it'll look pretty stupid. If you remove the ground effects, you'll have holes in the doors. There are PLENTY of base-model cars around that are getting parted out.

Try one of the advertisers above, or go on Ebay. I just saw some doors on there today.

 

ground effect holes are relatively small and can be welded closed with a little effort.

a door with power windows can be converted to one with manual windows by changing the regulator. sheetmetal of the door is the same regardless of what power options the car had.

many yards will torch the hinges of the door when removing it. since cost appears to be a major concern for you, unbolt the door from the car do not torch it. a new set of hinges will cost close to $150 per door.

shipping doors is troublesome. doors are heavy and expensive to ship, often shipping will cost close to what the door costs. doors often get damaged when shipped too, whether it be dents in the metal or shattered window glass.

not all southern doors are going to be perfect either, especially when dealing with a 20 year old car. some will have rust, once paint is gone the metal corrodes. some will have massive amounts of body filler. some will have stress cracks around the window regulators. etc...

 

if the donors door paint color doesn't match the rest of your cars color, see this thread entitled "rattle can painting":
