Is my frame bent
I have a 69 911 that I picked up about a year ago. The doors on the car do not fit right. At first I thought this was just a matter of adjusting the hinges and striker plate, but on taking a closer look, I may have a bigger problem.
The passenger side door has a gap at the front of the door that is 6mm wide at the top and only 1mm wide at the bottom. However the top of the door at the rear is level with the top of the right quarter panel. Thus, if I tweak the hinges to even the gap, the door won't line up at the rear.
Also, this passenger door doesn't close all the way. When its closed and latched the rear edge of the door is about 8mm out from the surface of the rear quarter panel.
The driver door has an even gap in front but one that is much too wide - about 8mm. It also does not close all the way. Also the window seems canted outward so it doesn't make a good seal at the top.
Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong - or how to fix it? I can post pictures if that would help.
