Dropped door

[Nova_Tek]

How easy is it to re-adjust the drivers door?

The passenger door is perfect but my door has droped a bit and doesnt shut as easy as the other.

Is it simply a case of undoing bolts and gettin sumone to lift the door or is it more complex?

Thanx

err you'll prolly find your nova door hinges are welded on like every other nova on the planet ;)

if its loose one of the hinge pins has probably corroded away

sry my bad i just assumed they was just like must other cars ive seen it done that way many times oh well i guess i was wrong sry :oops: :oops:

OK after having some time to look at the door hinges closer I have notcied that my doors have two bolts on the center connection.

So hinge held by a pin at the top and bottom of the door and the connection in the middle being bolted on.

You guys mention it should be welded on "like any other nova on the planet"

So whats this mean? Has my nova bin in a bash, doors were removed and bolted on coz they werent arsed to weld or were there novas with bolted on doors?

Dont want to attempt till im sure, coz if its dodgey then it'll probably fall right off :x

Thanx :wink:
