Door pins usually come with the bushings. Grab a floor jack to support the door, grab a small hammer and punch and knock the pins out. You're probably going to have to remove the door spring on the lower hinge, which you should get the special tool for. I believe Autozone carries them, just ask for a door spring compressor. Then knock out the bushings, tap the new ones in, and tap in the new door pins.

the door can be fixed, used doors are cheap but you will more then likely have to have it sprayed and blended into the car. Any GOOD body shop can repair your door.
