Put my doors on ready to fit the interior out the drivers door fits nice but the passenger sits out more ATM hopefully the door handle etc holds it in more otherwise it's going to look bad! Here is some pictures 😀

I may be wrong but I think you will have trouble getting the doors to fit, will probably have to bend them and hopefully paint not crack. You may have to compromise on best fit by maybe having them out slightly at bottom where not so noticeable, I have my doors and boot fit perfect but had loads of hassle with bonnet, it's a non genuine one. I had to compromise on fit and it sticks up a little by scuttle. Hopefully get another genuine one and get it better and paint afterwards.
Doors on early cars are a pain to get right and once painted the fear factor of damaging something doesn't help.
You can get thinner door seals if that helps, the mini spares ones are far to hard.
Hope all goes well though.
Hopefully driving mine to stanford tomorrow but avoiding motorway depends on weather really.

Thanks daz ile try my best to get it in if it doesn't do much ile have to live with it. I don't suppose you fancy getting my engine up and running do you and sorting my electrics out? Extra cash? Cheers Tom
