86 camaro coupe door replacement?

Ok so my driver side door is rusted through by the hinges and I was thinking I could cut the rusted metal off and weld some new in, my buddies dad said I should just find a new one but as some of you may know camaros don't last long in a junk yard so my question is, would you weld or keep looking?

I can tell you driver side doors are hard to find, pass side doors like new are a dime a dozen. Don't know why.

The nice thing about working with metal, you just easily add or replace as needed.
