Door skin.; Drivers side just the skin

I have a huge dent in the bottom of the drivers side door. Its kind of hard to notice because its pushed in about a quarter inch quite evenly and its on the bottom half of the door. It was repaired to its current state by the previous owner and whoever did it did a really shitty job. I do notice some filler and the inside has small spot holes from where it was pulled.

Anyway I want to replace the entire door skin. Ive been from junkyard to junkyard and they want 200-300 for a used door. I am not really keen on replacing the whole door ect swapping windows/motors/hardware....I really just want to replace the skin. Normaly I would just pull it out fill it but it was done so poorly before I don't want to bother.

Where can I get a full door skin. Not 2 pieces. Cant seem to find any full skins.

Try this site, it lists reproduction door shells, however there aren't any pictures and you have to call for price and availability. Its a long shot, but it beats fixing shotty work.

Thanks guys. If I can find a full door in good shape, for the right price, near by, I will jump on it. Otherwise Ive been looking more closely at my door, if I can strip it and its not caked with filler. I have no doubt I can fix it.

It doesn't sound too bad.....any thing can be repaired.... it's just a matter of skill level.
