You can't find composite doors? I thought those are pretty common. The concern with those is that they don't have crash beams in them, although I would think that you can put them in somehow. Considering how the door is right next to you, maybe it's better to use a metal door so that it doesn't shatter or crack in a collision. Aluminum doors are probably out of the question though.
I would replace the hood, trunk, roof, and fenders with carbon or fiberglass before doing the doors. And I would replace the battery and wheels before replacing any body panels. Body panels would be nice to do on an old beater car with a lot of dents that you can pick up super cheap, since getting the dents out and repainting costs as much as a new panel, and an aftermarket composite panel is not much more than an OEM steel panel.
