Awesome work on a subject that nobody covers and most of us dread doing! This is becoming the most informative channel on RU-vid, for the Foxbody community. Thanks and keep rockin’ the content- this stuff helps!
Have you ever hung a GT Convertible door bu yourself? Would you be able to guesstimate the weight of the door fully dressed? The tip about the dorman hinge pins is great. Do you have video of the door being removed with 1 person? Ty so much for the content - I just stumbled on your channel and am thankful for it.
door preload is a good idea. i just swapped the doors on my 86 capri t-top car. i put 87 convertible doors on it and they don not fit the same as the 86 doors. im going to go ahead repair the factory doors and reuse them. the driver door may not be repairable. we'll see.
My doors were sagging replaced door pins now door has a gap if fully closed can't open from outside.. after looking closely door hinge bracket is bent out driver side
Move the door up, down, forward... But what about in and out? I've got my fender and jambs MINT but there's like a 1/4 where windshield/roof meet. You guys shim the bottom out or something?
Before removing doors is it best to drill an alignment hole through the hinge into body so that you can reinstall with proper alignment…. I am about to remove mine as part of a total rebuild and paint job
I dont do that, mainly because you are going to replace the Bushings. So won't go back in the same place anyway, and that leaves you with a hole in your a pillars
A impact screw driver that you smack with a hammer will take those screws out of the latch mechanism every time. Probably buy one for 20 dollars or less.
It’s a night and day difference we had a drag roller with cut out door panels for the roll bar crash bar etc the doors were super smooth and light weight
Another great video, my passenger door sticks out just a hair when shut even with the striker all the way in. I might try the 2x4 trick, like I said it’s really close just off enough to annoy someone with OCD like me 😂
I'm gonna have to take my driver's door off whoever had it before me said the door was sprung back the other way I hope I just have to replace the door and hinges
@@foxjunk73 okay thanks. Im reviewing your past paint videos to see what order you paint in. I pulled my doors off by cutting my pins , can just stick the replacement pins in with the hinge on car
I'm 27. Restoring my first complete shell of a 89 notchback and the doors the people put on it before I bought it fit like complete hell. Full of bondo and tweeked as shit. Gonna be sourcing some good ones, thanks for the tips.
