Needing some guidance from the body shops guys out there. First, I know the car was wrecked somewhere in its past. Both of the rear quarter panels have been patch and the rear window / trunk cross member is not square to the top of the window frame. 1/2" difference from one side to the other. The rear bumper has also bent and straighten out some.
The two problems I'm having are aligning right side of the trunk and the passenger door at the top by the handle. The door fits well along the fender and rocker. It also fits fine along the quarter until you get up by the handle and then it sticks out from the quarter. I don't see anyway to adjust the door to get the top edge in without throwing it out somewhere else. Any suggestions on what to do?
On the trunk I can get the left side of the trunk to align half way decent but the right side sits to high. I don't see anyway of getting this to go down. I have to press down really hard to get it to go down. Is there a way to twist the lid so I can get it even across the back and then adjust the height?
Thanks for any help or ideas.
