Do you have any pics? Sounds like your door pins and bushings are shot.

 

if thats the case, then i believe AndyZ28 or something similar to that on the boards sells an excellent sagging door fix for our cars for a reasonable price. hopefully he'll stop by in this thread

 

from what you are saying, it sounds like you need a new fender with the hinge mouts, and also the hinges. It sound like it was welded in the wrong spot or something.

 

It sounds like the hinges are shot, or they weren't rewelded right.

 

The repair was done ok (at least as far as the clunking). That movement is from the hinge pin being loose in the worn/non-existant bushings. Take a look between the door and the jamb as you open it, and you will see the pin rock back and forth.

as mentioned before, Andyz28 sells a great kit for this, and im sure you can find replacement bushings elsewhere too.
