First - replace the o-rings (they're not really gaskets) in the heater core and fix your leak. If you've got access to a vacuum system, hook it up and minimize the spillage of coolant. If not, be prepared to mop/soak up about a quart.
As far as the doors? Linkage? I would need to see more of what's broken to suggest a COA...
But I will say this: Erie Vovo has good used parts and your car doesn't need new heater box or controls. Heater cores wear out, but the box itself doesn't, really.
Go used if you end up replacing parts on the doors/linkages.
