My body shell doesn't fit too bad left to right. Not perfect but good enough for government work.

The drivers door has a fair bit of filler in it. More than I rould like. It's probably 1/8" thick near the bottom. The top edge where it meets the body near the windscreen was really bad. I split the top edge of the door away and wedged it in place then glassed up the gap.

Here's what the drivers door looks like now. You can see where it needed a lot of filler.



This area needed a lot of work. This is where I had to split the door and lift the top front edge up.



The panel gap on the doors was huge too. Lots of filling and sanding and it's a lot closer now.

You can see the line of filler along the bottom edge of the door opening to see how wide the original gap was. It was even worse before I lifted the top of the door.




Cheers
