   my doors bent as bloke has welded door hinges on wrong and bent the door to fit into place and lots of wind coming through so how much would it cost to get the hinges snaopped of car and welded bak in correct place and when doors of will bend easier and can then put back on car so how much for this job

   lol at that.
   
   Be simple enough to do yourself i guess. Saw or grind off the hinge. Then grind it down smooth on the car. Then depending what the threaded holes are like either weld a plate over it with holes drilled out and redrill the holes for the hinge. Or just rethread the ones already in there if theyre threaded or just use a bolt n nut instead. Refit door with a new hinge, wollah.
   
   Prep it all yourself then just pay like £20 for the welding.
