Not to be a jerk, but you need to learn how to use this forum or no one will help you. There are different sections to start threads in, not just "Newbie Introductions" If you just randomly post things everywhere you will get kicked off the site. I'm not a moderator but I'm sure they won't enjoy cleaning up all your posts in the wrong sections. :sad2:

You could also make 5 posts to the same thread with that button that says "post reply" at the bottom of your thread instead of starting a new thread every time you want to post something. Its not me who you should worry about. I'm just telling you for your own good, you will piss of the people that run this site and the ones that use it daily and you will not get the responses you want. I'm just trying to educate you, there is no need to be offended.

Enjoy your time on 3geez, people here are very helpful, you just have to understand the site and try using the "search" window at the upper right corner on the main page. It is your friend and people will respect you if you can find answers to questions and How-Tos in threads that already exist.

do you have to lift the door up to be able to close it.
might need to replace the hinges?

Old skool trick for a temp fix is get a piece of wood and use a jack and left on the door. NOT ALOT just alittle at a time till it shuts. BUT main reason is the pins are wore out on the door hing

Yes, I recall using the old wood and jack deal to hold up the door while you bolt it back down.

You obviously don't live near Seattle. "South End" could mean a number of things: South End Renton, South Seattle, general areas south of Seattle...

I don't know body work well, but maybe you can use some shims or washers temporarily.
