Door pin replacement
My doors had a little sag. Bout 1/8" at jam so decided to replace the pins. Replaced the drivers side this weekend. Built a jig on my floor creeper to hold the door. Door is not sitting on fiberglass bottom as it looks, its held on the inside edge by supports. Worked real good and no play at all now. Passenger side next. 
P.S. Getting her back to Elkhart Green is a future plan to once the piggy bank fills some.

Lookin' good! Nice door holding rig you made up.
I did mine while I had the doors gutted rebuilding the regulators and changing the glass over to convertible.
With everything removed my doors were so lite I couldn't pass up the chance to drop them and pop the new pins and bushings in.
Makes a world of difference shutting and latching properly.
