You can un-bolt the door hinges from the body and shim them. But before that take a look under the fender. If the lower attachment point is folded over I'd suspect that someone improperly lifted it from that location. If that was the case, your fender has been bowed out in the middle. Un-bend the tab, then you'll need to adjust the fender.

from the factory, the door was a little in from the fender. This is mainly to keep down wind noise.

Werid, my passenger door (which was replaced by the previous owner with one from a junker) sticks out like 1/4 of an inch towards the quarter panel. Towards the fender its fine. I just ordered 2 lower door pins so im gonna fix this crap once and for all. How do I align the door to match it up with the quarter panel?
