Steps? I didnt know there was steps for this car, i thought it was just choose your own adventure
I think a lot of my problems with the body are due to the body being about 10 years old and the guy i bought it off had it stored outside under a tarp for god knows how many years. My inner door skins are too big for the openings so either hit on the door striker plate or rub on the body next to the hinges. Its no big deal, just a bit of extra work.
The passenger side door bracket doesnt have enough adjustment for the door to sit flush with the body so i have had to pack washers between the bracket and the intrusion bars.
It looks like i will need a lot of filler on the top of the door to build it up flush with the body and form the bead to match the edge of the dash.
I just wanted to get the doors on at this stage whilst i was waiting for my savings to catch up with my progress. So havent started on filling and gaping the doors.
