Sounds like your door hinges are worn out. You can remove the hinges and rebuild them by installing new pins and bushings. Pretty straightforward and inexpensive.
Awesome, thanks
has anyone got a good website/ location for bolts and other odds and ends for these mustangs?
Ohio Mustang Supply, he has a banner in the Market Place section of this site. Good guy to deal with. You can contact him at : (440) 949-2556
Just another tip. Before you remove the hinges drill a couple of alignment holes in the size of the nails that you want to use. It will help getting the doors aligned more easily later on because they will be in the exact position that they were when you took them off. There is a lot of adjustability and it can be a pain to get the door aligned again.
Is helps a lot, yes new doors are the way to go I believe. And I have no problem with that as long as I can find someI saw some of your other pictures of the door hinge area... at this point, you're going to want to pull the fenders, take off the doors, and see what's really going on. All that rust, along with the broken doors, you're going to want to seriously consider finding some "new" doors (either reproduction Dynacorn doors, or some good ones from a donor car).
Until you get the rust damage under control no amount of alignment trickery will get you anywhere.
Like I said in the other thread, I hate throwing out the bad news, but I learned the hard way myself with some very similar issues.
Hope this helps! And remember, we're all here for ya.
