Hi all,
Anybody got a good fix for sagging doors, need to fix em before I take it in for paint. I saw Andy's replacement hinges on the main board. Anybody had any experience with either this or something else here in Ontario.
thanks
Scott

 

Scott : When i re-did the body on my car ......i bought new pins from GM .........i think they 're about 20 bucks ........but it did not fix the problem 100 % .

You might wanna get the hinges or buy good used doors !!

I've got an 85 T/A and i'm not sure if they upgraded the hinges later on, but my hinges are welded on the door side but bolted on the frame side, and they sag......boy do they sag......anyways i tried the pins from GM like Mark, and nadda .....further look , the metal around the weld had started to slightly break apart enough to sag the doors, so what i'm looking for is a new door with a good weld.

 

My doors are same, I think best bet is new doors as hinge is welded on door and bolted to body. Good luck finding some good ones.

i might just have to buy new ones and exchange the guts, but i'm not sure if i'm ready to tackle that just yet.

There's a member here that also makes a kick @ss kit for this. I don't have the url handy, but I think he's got a geocities site. Anways, if you're serious about doing this yourself, try a search in the Body/Interior board when search comes back up.

 

Oh....this posting brought back some bad memories! Hanging the doors on mine a couple of years ago, that is one thing I HATE doing....well 2nd to body work!

 

thanks for all the insight on this one. Sounds like something I only want to do once so I'd better decide between just swapping doors or doing the hinges.
