Default MkII Escort Panel Van Door & Bonnet

Hey Guys,

I have myEscort Panel van sparking some interest in me after picking it up in 2008'ish from a couple of fellas out in Oakey for $800. I had it registered for a while until around 2012 but think it might be time to start on the restore.
The van is in great nick.. no rust in the body at all, no windows cut either.. stoked
After having a look around, seems the 2 bits I need are a bit hard to find and I'm after some help in pointing me in the right direction.

Before I go & find someone for panel & paint, I need a RH door and a bonnet?!
I'm no panel beater but think those 2 bits that are shoddy would be harder to fix than to replace.. what do you think?

_image6; a photo of the van, aint' she beautiful
_image 3; the top of the door where the window weather channel sits. don't see how a weather strip will clip on to that and seems pretty hard to fix ?
_image 2; you get the drift. seems someone had a part yon the bonnet. Can you fix the supports in there, or do I need a new one. Worst case I get a carbon fiber one and put a clear coat on it?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Paul.
