Just cut 2 pieces of railway track short enough to fit in between the wheels and weld those on the side by the sills,so until you big enough to climb in you can use them as a step.Come back when you grow up.

Probly wrecked a good car,Its a job for the profesional or sum1 with a brain.fibreglassing the doors wont help you.i have seen a hq coupe convertable with reinforcing (4"x half inch steel plate alongside the doors) and the doors still lined up poorly.
