You're miles ahead with another vanagon body, and swap everything over.
Upgrade to a newer version while you're at it.

It's more than just the doors, but the doors are a big part of it. The
pillar between the doors is slightl bent, so I think that's causing problems
with the doors closing right. Also, the far rear vertical seam has separated
slightly. So even if I get new doors, those two things need to be fixed.

If it's just confined to doors, or nearly so, you're very lucky.
You will be miles ahead to replace the doors and have those painted.
Assuming there are dents.........you wouldn't want to pay for 'good body and
paint work'     ( very hard to get anyway , actual 'good word' that is )
..it would be a couple thousand bucks easily.  Get the doors, install them
yourself carefully, then see about paint and any other body work left.
   A single dent in one panel is often 500 dollars to really make it
disappear.  Depending on grade of work and where you are, but body and paint
work isn't cheap, and rarely is done very well anyway, in my opinion.   Even
very expensive body and paint work is often very poorly done.
