door help

well i was pushing my camaro out of the garage, turning it around and pushing it back in so i could start to work on the blown motor. on the way pushing it back in, my dumbass was standing at the drivers side door pushing the car and steering. so while we were puching it back into the driveway, i didnt happen to notice the huge bush at the end of the driveway which caught my door and bent it back crushing the $hi* out of the drivers side door skin. the fender didnt get hit much, but now the door wont even shut. with this new damage, the blown motor, and a desperate need of a paint job, im not too sure what im gonna do with this thing. sorry for the long story, but im wondering whats involved in replacing the door? since i really love the car and dont want to give up on it. can i get one cheap? i figure i needed a paint job anyway.paint job+new door+new engine+other body work= should i just look into a new 3rd gen? any suggestions or anything good to hear would be greatly appreciated
thanks
dan

If you like the car. Id say keep it. Put a nice crate 350 in it or something, replace that door, and get a nice paint job! Have one sweet ride!
