door hinge raising

[Delorean17@xxxx]

Hello,
My Jul 81 DeLorean had a large dent in the door so I bought a perfect 
used one for it that came off off an 82 or 83 De Lorean. I dont have the 
T-panel on my car right now because the door is too close to the fiberglass 
roof. The top of the new door hits the fiberglass roof panel very hard and 
makes a nasty noise when the door goes up. There is no way I can put the 
T-panel back on because the door would smash it when it went up.
I moved the four bolts connecting the doors to the hinges down and that 
is still not even close to high enough. The stainless actually bows in when 
its up so I leave it closed now. The manual says I am going to have to add 
shims under the hinge mount. Looks like the torsion bar has to come out just 
after I got it in:( does anyone know what DeLorean supplier has these shims? 


Thanks
Dave

by the way. I got $0.14 per pound from the junk yard for the smashed SS door.
