hey guys my z had some body damage done to it and i had to get a new door but when i got the door put on the door frame the door hinge post was bent just a little bit so when you shut it the door is about a quarter of an inch away from latching. is there any tool to straighten out the door hinge post? any help would great!

you mean you have to pull the hinge out 1/4? if so id pull the fender off, either get some stud welding stuff or tack weld a whole lot of posts and slowly pull it out with a come along attached to a very solid structure like a big tree. although the hinge may not be the problem, a picture would be best, and body damage is different than chassis or frame damage. pics...

Okay I will put pics on here how do you post them and I mean like the door hinge screw holes are facing more toward the front of the car the door folded into the fender and tweaked the post forward toward the fender it's not bad so it should be easily fixable I just need to find a way to pull the post back a little bit. But I will post pics ASAP

Imgur.com is the easiest way, but a lot of the car forums still use photobucket
