Re: Door alignment issue / help

Thanks fr the replies guys...

The issue isn't with the upper window frame or the panel gaps but the lower door section right at the front edge where the rectangle section is where the guard drops down... this is way to far in.

These are original 58-59s doors and guards and I rebuilt the hinges with new springs etc etc etc

Initially once i fitted the door it wouldn't close cause the inner door rubbed metal on metal on the a pillar.

I undid the top 2 inner door pocket bolts and the third hidden one from the wheel arch side for both hinges and got enough movement for it to just miss on rubbing when closed .... but when lined up to the window channel , front panel and the guard lines it still low about 5-7mm and I cant get it out anymore

Guess I am getting the angry dremel out and slotting some holes.

Thanks
