Default Proud New Member, door problems

First off i have to say that im the proud new owner of my 99 z28 hardtop camaro. At 24 years old i think im in love with an all stock car.

Secondly I am sorry if i posted this on the wrong section of the forum.

Getting down to buisness ill say that i was disappointed when i found out that GM lo longer makes replacement door pins and bushings for my car. The door is sagging a little bit and is rubbing just a little bit of paint off the bottom of the door jamb. Ive contacted autozone, local gm dealer, Ecklers Camaro, looked on Ebay, and frustratingly found zilch. Any help on this topic is awesome. Also has anyone broke a motor mount on one of these cars lately?
