so im trying to save some money by doing as much work on my stang as possible... plus theres no substitute for experience... my driver door is sagging at one end... how do I get it to line up perfect? sorry if its a dumb question bu i absolutely hav zero experience with body work (except how to roll the fenders)

Are the door hinge pins worn, can you lift up on the door at the handle end? If so, you need to replace the hinge pins before doing any other adjusting.

well about 3-4 years ago me and my pop had the entire stang sort of restored... it had set for like 5+ years and we had a guy go over the car completely replacing old parts and getting everything right (new weather striping, bumpers, moldings, etc. etc. he had to replace the hinge pins then)... but ill check them
