Re the doors, a few years ago I built a Banham BAT which had the same idea of placing a skin over an original door. in order to get acceptable door gaps the hinge had to be modified. The idea was to move the pivot point as close to the door skin as possible. This was done by cutting and welding pieces into the hinge itself. It was a bit trial and error but in the end the gaps were equal all round and the doors opened ok without fouling. With unmodified hinges you needed a gap about as thick as your thumb to get the doors open ( land rover tolerances).
