Is the door really sagging?

So I'm putting the 85-90 GFX on my car, when I noticed the doors don't want to shut at all. The bottom of the doors are really digging into the side skirts. So does this mean the doors are sagging and will have to be fixed? Suggestions??

Your hinges are probably shot. There are bushing repair kits to fix them. Some of them have a grease fitting on them. Check the HELP section of your local auto parts place or Ebay.

BTW - you can check them by lifting up on the door and seeing how much play there is in the hinge.
