    Grrr door pins!!!

    As you can tell, im pissed.

    My door doesnt shut right, and sags a LOT when I open it.

    Time for new pins...:nonono:

    Ill prob wait till this weekend when im in atlanta, and install em at Eric's (88grandmarq) house... There will be more than enough people to help there...

    Unfortunately, ive heard the brass bushings you get with the pin kit shear off easily... This should be fun

    My door wont shut right either, but its not cause it sags. It actually sits too HIGH. lol. I think someone backed into something and hit the door. The hinge is pushed up and out. I'm gonna bring it to a shop. I've had REAL bad luck with doors.

          door pins

          Hey Tom,

          Just out of curiosity, are the tudor hinges the same as a 4 door?

          If so I might have a set of nice set of them laying around you can have for the shipping.

              Hey your welcome!

              Just a side note here, I met a guy one time who kept having hinge troubles with his camaro. (sorry to utter that fould word here in GMN)
              One day he came to work and got out without his door dropping 6 feet when he opened it. I made a comment and he showed me his solution.

              He had put brand new hinges on it, and got everything lined up. He then welded in an extra pair of hinges. LOL

              It worked though. I would recommend bolts myself, but hey what do you expect from a gm lover?

                My hinges are fine but I think Im fucked with my body right below the drivers side upper hinge. No rust on my entire car except there and its a fuckin doosey. I think Im gonna have to take my door off to rid myself of the rust. Doors are the biggest whore evar to align. :cuss:
