I would think a good compromise would be to scrounge the door (would be great to get one the same color...) and get somebody to help you hang and adjust it. This would:

1. Save you some bux.
2. Give you a little taste of body repair. Hanging a door is not that hard if you're careful.
3. Take the Brick (with new door) to body shop and have them fix the quarter panel and do the paint work.

Or, if you don't really care what it looks like you could take some of your booty and buy an air compresor and paint gun and attempt to do everything yourself. I remember that my first paint job didn't look too bad (from 10 feet away) but each one got better. You might even find it enjoyable.

Good luck and have fun,
