Renovation

[Martin Prior]

We regularly deal with "dropped doors". The most common cause is that the scuttle has settled on its mountings on the front chassis cross member. Remove the fixing bolts and gently jack the front of the body up; the door fit should improve as you do. Once it's as good as it's going to get, insert some packing between the chassis and the body and re-bolt.

If the gap really is as much as an inch, then you probably are into Acrow prop territory!

When it gets a bit more radical......ratchet straps, sash cramps and (out of sight) two hydraulic jacks.  But just look at that door fit!
