I want to replace the lower door hinge bracket because the captive nuts have come loose. I'd also like to replace the inner and outer door bottoms. I was wondering about the difficulty level of doing this and about the interior door structure. Is there any kid of framework inside the door so I can align and mount the panels? Thanks for the help!

will take a moderate amount of metal working skill and a lot of patience - there's a 'structure' involved with the hinge mount in the door, but the shape and the pinch weld where the outer skin wraps the flange of the inner shell are the only lower 'framework' ... alignment is careful measurement and marking of the original as it's taken apart

a moderate amount of a skill I lack! Sounds like a challenge! Good thing I have two passenger side doors to experiment on!
