Off The Hinge

By: David 06/02/2020

I was bored and decided to fix/replace the door hinges and door seals. :-)


The hinges were old and loose, and the door hinge area was pulling away from the door skin.

Tried to pull/bend the hinge area on the door back to correct position by hanging it from patio lol and dropping it a couple feet using gravity to bend it back. It helped a little :-)

Cleaned up the door and truck hinge area and repainted it.

Then decided to add wire connectors at the door hinge area now that I have electric windows and door locks so could take the doors on/off easier.

Put the doors back on and adjusted everything and they close like brand new! Although the truck looks kind of cool without the doors too :-)
