I thought I did have some pictures of the rigging I'll check and post them later.

Thanks for the comments, As mentioned I have no intention of making this a trailer queen there will still be door over extension marks on both sides, the biggest reasons for doing this attempted repair was to correct the passenger door from binding with the pillar when opening. There was just over a 3/8" difference between the drivers and the passenger opening measured horizontally from just below the latch and the hinge pillar. At present there is less than 1/16 difference. Both upper and lower hinges had loose pins and some additional twist in the mount.
I'm heading to the B.C. coast to both The Old Car Center and KMS later this week to pickup new hinges and window felt kit as well as other goodies then we will see how the repair really looks. What I''m hoping is the door will close as easy as the drivers side I'd be happy with that.
