Too bad about all your problems but the good news is you are probably over the worst of it and are now into the "Preventitive Maintaince" period. Of course from time to time you will have a problem to fix but remember the car IS 25 years old! The door problem is kind of a big deal however. It is very inconvenient to use the car when the driver's door won't open. The repair is over the skill level of a novice. It sounds like you have had much of the work on your car done by others for your bills to be so high. Even for a Delorean in "perfect" running shape you still need to budget *some* money on repairs and maintainence. The thing to do is to get in touch with you favorite vendor and see what arrangments can be made to get the door repaired. If you are not comfortable doing this kind of work your efforts could make things worse and more expensive to fix.
