newley purchsed 93 940 wagon - w/which models can I swap doors? ? best struts for replacement?

Hello
I just purchased a 93 940 150k wagon from the original owner with a service history.

it looks nice from the passenger side, but the bottom of the drivers side doors are rusted to the most likely not salvageable. so I need two doors to make it look nice, or drive it rusty =)

it seems mechanically sound, no chatter in the engine when accelerating hard of climbing a hill, it runs cool, no undo amt of corrosion in the engine compartment, the O.D. still shifts on / off fine,though the transmission will shift from park to 2nd instead of drive? normal? or sloppy shift lock?

the car does pull to one side a bit. When I pushed down on the front end, the passenger side bounced much more freely than the drivers side did , and I noticed on the reciept from last fall when the tires were installed, the alignment was declined. so I figure it could be the strut, there were no horrible sounds over bumps, but it is soft. what else might it be? is it cost effective to replace the strut ? which are the best ones for the $$ ?


I look forward to learning more about these cars, I have wanted one for a while now to tote the dog and kayak around instead of trying to cram everyhting into a regular cab p/u truck =)))
