The drivers door had multiple issues. Gaps were small and large. There was a big difference in the bottom latch side of the door. To solve the gap problems wasn’t that hard. I removed the edge of the door to in large the gap and added weld to the doors edge to widen the door. Now to the issue with the bottom of the door. The door apparently was twisted or was it. The picture shows the 1/4” gap at the bottom of the door. My first attempt was to force the door with ratchet straps and blocks in strategic positions to tweak the door into alignment to the latch post. The door did not cooperate. So I cut the hinge post. See the picture to see were I cut the post. After I removed enough material I welded the post.
