hi graham there is a few shims but that gap down passenger a panel is quiet bad but if i take the shims out to bring it closer to the a panel the top off the door will hit so i was thinking of adding metal on down the a panel to loose the gap any ideas? drivers side i can live with cheers tomNot too bad on the fit, any shimming going on ?? Have a look at the door gap section pinned in the bodywork section. Not too far off though, mine went from like yours to crap fit today !!!

hi mate i havent got a welder i will mention it to street tweeks as he will be fitting new door skins so he might be able to do something to make it better cheers tomDriver side looks fine, Nearside,...... I would weld a seam on the door edge, (christ sake not on A-panel edge) thin on top, wider in middle and thin on bottum, grind back a sand flat, use copper piece to absorb heat and weld on low amps, (setting 1 and min) pending what welder you have,in 1 inch sections up and down so nout get to hot, have a nice 3-4mm gap top to bottum and around the whole door-frame, you might have to do this a few times to get it right, but worth while doing.

hi thanks i have not tryed this i will measure next time cheers tomyou might find that the dos skin has been altered before you got the door so a new door skin might even be what you need. have you tried measureing the gapes for the door to see if one side is bigger / smaller?
