Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fabrice" data-source="post: 382282" data-attributes="member: 4798">Do you have picts from a greater distance from side and rear?The weight will not fix anything. have you tried to make doors loose and push them till the touch the quarter (with cardboard in between) ?    For the door, may they'd be twisted a bit, at least you would not have to work too much on the quarter gap.    Try also to keep a "pinky" space between the end of the roof rail and door top (fender side). Its usually not too far. Also measure the distance on door from latch to top and outer skin, then adjust the latch anchor on pilar accordingly. If the car had no major impact to your knowledge the gap should be way less than it is.    The bottom of the door skin, often rusty, may have been corrected following a wrong line, so do not focus on the rocker line. Aligning from the top will tell you more. For the decklid, forget the extensions, I see on them, the stickers were trying to correct an opposite angle of what you show, so something is not right but may be not as terrible as it looks. Make sure the gaps of the lid are even at corners near window and that they are flush with the body. At least one side of the lid should be showing a gap on side that follows the body. Quickly adjusted this way, if you measure the lid width, you can have its center and doing same on rear panel, both marks should align. The decklids are often twisted a tad when not centered, which gives an angle between the rear of the lid and the extensions. Once all is centered and properly aligned on the body, you should see where the car has been repaired and where it's been done wrong...</blockquote>
