Hanging Mk 1 doors

Post by rolesyboy »

Anybody have any tips on hanging Mk 1 doors back on? I have had the shell and panels painted and would like to avoid scratching them whilst hanging/adjusting them.

Run plenty of masking tape around the openings and anywhere you think you might damage. I find it easiest to fit the hinges to the doors (loosely) and connect them to the A panel as I fit the door into the opening. I then tape the door closed temporarily until I nip the bolts and carry out adjustments.
