   As the title says, my passenger doesn't sit flush to the wing at the bottom, Not causing any problems apart from it looks sh*t.
   
   Ive had a look at the hinges themselves and it looks like they have been welded back on at some point (seems to be a common problem as ive already searched). The bottom hinge looks either to be the wrong hinge or its been welded back on wrong. Was wondering how much of a job is it going to be to remove the hinge and weld it back on properly, plus what kind of cost am i looking at.
   
   Thanks

   Dont know if this is any help...
   My o/s door is out of line.
   
   That because I was reversing my car into a space when i was a learner and forgot that i'd got the door open to see where i was going. So kept reversing, and the door caught on another car and it would have been wrenched off completely if i had'nt wondered what the weird noise was!!
   
   Still closes ok, never bothered to fix it because its a shit 1.1 But must be something bent in the door? Can't imagine that the hinges on the shell would be bent, because they are really thick and there can't have been enough force to bend them.
