[DeTomaso] Door adjustment

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

If I interpret Nick right he means the door is not flush with the fenders.
That'd be remedied by adjusting the pillar side of the hinge. Method is
similar to Rob's description.

Take the door panel off and you will see 6 bolts (if I remember correctly)
connecting the door to the hinge. Don't loosen yet. Using a floor jack and
a block of wood, support the fully opened door weight. Not sure which
direction you mean be 'In', but with the door supported, you can loosen two
of the three top and tow of the three bottom bolts a little. Try to make an
adjustment by pulling/pushing on the door to move it horizontally or
raise/lower the jack for vertical. Tighten and test. Next adjustment,
loosen two of the three again, but this time loosen the one you didn't
before. With a little patience, you should be able to make it look perfect
and work after a few tries.
