Help On body work plz!!!

Hey guys, just joined the thread (been browsing it for a while though) and was wondering if anybody knew of the best way to fix up Ms. Dixie on the cheap as i am a poor college student. Pics are on my profile album with all the main damage. main fix is all passenger side. im not worried about scratches just big dents. Wanna replace front quarter-panel and passenger door. can i do it myself with junkyard replacements? no power locks windows or anything in my door.

thanks

fenders and doors are pretty easy to remove & replace. concern is it looks like the rocker panel under the door is pushed up into the door skin and possibly where it seals?

its hard to tell if its pushed up far enough to interfere with the door closure. does it rub on the floor or in the curve of the door bottom front?
