Subject:estimate on repairing right side of van

I had a really bad day Thrusday- two car accidents. One included my '85
Vanagon Westfalia. The whole right side is damaged, from the passenger door
to the far rear seam near the engine vent. Not dented in too much, but it is
the whole side (side-swiped a telephone pole). The pillar between the doors
is slightly bent, and the slider has a wider gap now on the forward side.
I'm trying to decide if it would be cheaper to get a good used front door
and slider rather than have fixed what's there.

Anyone ever had a similar accident? What did it cost and what did you do? I
definitely want to get this fixed.

Thanks,
Ed in CT
