Help Me Fix My Baby....

Well long story short i had one hell of a blow out and struck another car. Luckily no one was hurt. well on to what going on. i bought a replacement door and replacement fender. both used OEM parts. i would to ask if anyone can post pics of where the passenger door - fender - hood meet that would be an imense help to me(the circle area). as i am doing the alignment work on my own.

Well, everything should line up... not sure what the question is? The top of the fender should meet the top of the hood, the side of the fender should meet the side of the door, with enough room for the door to open without rubbing the fender, and with enough room so the hood doesn't land on (and scratch) the top of the fender.

sorry for not being so clear. it was midnight when i wrote that up. i was kinda tired . well here's what i'm talking about..... the passenger side has much more clearance than the drivers side. where the fender meets the.... not sure what's it called here. windshield support?? yes the fender is flush with the door. and the drivers side has alot less gap than the passenger side.




passenger side

heres my work in progress. the large gap between the fender and windshield support or whatever it's called, really does bother me though . i don't know why there's that much gap but everything seem to line up and work pretty well
