Defender 90 doors and bonnet

Hi All - I’m agonisingly close (and nearly broke) trying to finish restoring my 1987 90. Body shop have told me due to rust underneath doors and on sides that it would be the best option to replace. Does anyone have any cheaper recommendations here or does anyone have 2 doors in good nick? Failing that - any recommendations for where to get replacements? They are push bottin handle doors. Also in the market for a bonnet too. Thank you

I have the old style 2 x piece doors that a few years ago cost me just £75.00 each (door bottoms) from the now sadly defunct Bearmach company - brand new doors! ( no capping's though) I'm not keen on the windy-window doors with their inherent rust issues & equally unimpressed with the new prices being asked for these items! I already possessed wolf alloy door tops so my choice was simple, but the alloy door tops from Rocky Mountain (if they are still about) are probably as good or the standard alloy clad steel ones & for now will do fine. Gotta be cheaper & in my opinion look soooo much better even if they were never originally fitted on the 90, MOD perhaps.
