Subject:Door Alignment???

Anyone had any experience straightening up the allignment on the front doors?

When I got my 80 the drivers door was a little tough to get closed...probably
won't do the latch any good staying this way...have to slam it pretty good.

Anyway, since then I managed to drift the van back with the door open and
caught it on a tree so I really sprung it back almost 90 degrees...still works
though you REALLY have to slam it now...

I suppose I need new hinges...I haven't taken anything apart yet...I can see
the bolts on the door frame...are the hinges bolted inside the door too?
