No door adjusting for me..

[garion]

So now that mine is back on the road.. I have a few small items to do, to make life nicer.. One is adjusting the driver door, it rubs along the bottom..

So I take the interior off the door, and what do I find?? Well... I'll let pictures speak for themselves...





The last image is from the top of the down, facing down... The PO welded the door to the hinge.. No adjustment for me.. It open an closes, but just drags on the bottom a bit.

Guess it depends on how much you want to put into the car.
There's a wrecking yard in south Phoenix, (Angels?) that may have a door.
They used to have lots of Fiat stuff, but it's been years since I've been there.
At least you weren't done with the block sanding when you discovered it.

I might have a pair of blue doors and hinges if you wanted switch them out.. I'll snap some photos an post them... They are located in the scottsdale area.

I might be up for those doors, if they're close enough in color to mine...

I actually have a 78 with good doors, but with the older handle style... So if worse comes to worse, when I go to paint it some many years from now...

As I said, the door currently works, it would be better with some adjustment, but I can live with it.. I want some time driving this thing damn it!

Ok, just let me know. Mine are the old handle style off a 78 parts car I had.
Cheers!

john,
didn't you say that guy with the 40 boxes of fiat stuff had doors and fenders.

Yeah, I'm just not going to bother for now... Its not really hindering me, just rubs a bit when i open and close.. I have other things to fix up.. Like the seat belts being quirky.. I may just replace them...
