Hinge time!
Since the doors would be coming off anyway, the hinges needed lots of attention.
The upper was a GM replacement which was rusty, but reusable (left picture). It has good bushings, so it will be just sanded, wirebrushed, and painted.
Skuzzy would not begin to describe the lower one (right picture). This will take quite a bit of elbow grease, new pin & bushings and new hold-open roller…
A complete overhaul so to speak.
First, the door panel and all small parts were removed from the door. Kick panel and door sill were removed and an old towel covered the floor to protect the new carpet.
After disconnecting the battery, the power lock and speaker wires were cut and pulled into the door. The lock wires got a set of connectors attached to their ends, and the door side got their mates.
The garage was cleaned enough to make up a safe area for the door once it was removed. Lots of carpet and padding was used to protect the paint.
The door edges and fender edges were wrapped in masking tape to protect from chips. A sharpie pen was used to mark the hinge locations for easier reassembly. Alcohol will remove the marks later.
After supporting the door well and removing the bolts from the door, and keeping a firm grip on it, it came off without issue. When the last bolt came out, I slid the door rearwards to clear the painted area. I lifted the door, kicked the stool away, and set it on the ground. Not bad for a one man job…
I marked the hinges ont he frame side and removed the hinges.
Wow! These were tough. You would never imagine that a hinged door would be that difficult. But it was.

It was on this day of photography that I was approached for the first time by someone who had a possible objection to my actions. As I was wandering round the small industrial estate on a Sunday afternoon, I was almost satisfied with the pictures I had taken so far. Shortly after taking a photo and walking back towards a road, a black 4x4 drove up the road towards me; I presumed they were perhaps asking for direction. It turned out to be the estate's security patrol officer who had been alerted by some of the units who had seen me on CCTV. He questioned me about the photos I was taking and I simply responded that I was interested in the colour and shapes the buildings had to offer, and being the open soul I am, offered to show him the photos. He wasn't bothered, but seemed satisfied that I wasn't there to scout out the security. "In that case I had better cancel the Police then. he said. I thought that was a good idea.
Backbone is extruded aluminium, brass hinges screwed into pre-drilled holes in that. Points of the screws cut off at the back of the plywood.
Isn't as wonky as it looks here, the joins are parallel and actually quite sturdy.
