Need a quick, nice looking, fix for replacing 8' closet doors

Hi, I'm new here. But I thought this might be a good place to get some ideas. I need a quick fix (but something that's nice looking) for replacing 8' closet doors (which are long gone in the trash) with standard height 6'8" closet doors. I'm trying to sell my house, but without closet doors, I can't even list it! The lead time on 8' doors is 4-6 weeks... and over $1000 for the 4 closets that I need to replace, and we need to be listed in 2-3 weeks.

Does any one have any good ideas???

Thanks!

Make a simple frame from 2x3's @ 24" oc. 1/2" BCI plywood both sides. Screen molding the perimeter. Bead molding in the field for effect.
Prime and paint.

I have 2 basement windows that i want to replace myself. Please tell me if i am starting right, from inside the house i removed the finish framing around one of the windows and measured the exact height,length and width of the existing window, is this the correct way to measure to order new ones?. Also i live in the cold north are vinyl windows ok.

Does anybody have any advice on the best lubricant to use for squeaky doors, etc.? I'm looking for something that will hopefully last several months to a year. Thanks for the help. Matt
