Default Old Vestibule door

Hi all.
After removing the old vestibule door and sidelights etc from my old
terraced house. I'm wondering if it could be restored and remodelled
for 'promotion' as a new front door. Its a pretty heavy old thing
with the
top half having a the usual glazed framing pattern
eg

The bottom half is very solid.

Does anyone know of the timber for these old doors is
of a type good enough to become a front door that would
withstand everything the elements could throw at it?

Thanks.
