door jamb on wrecked fox's!

[jackchan]

I've always had problems on wrecked fox body mustangs with doors being wedged shut during a light or heavier accident. I can even pull the hinge bolts out and the part that hits the striker still hangs on.

I finally have my passengers door off my parts car, but the drivers door is stuck like its welded! I guess if worst comes to worst I can do like I did on passengers door. Take a chisel and bust a hole in the front part of the door (doors are screwed anyways) and remove the hinges. But there has to be an easier way!

I may have to torch it tomorrow! I did get one seat out and the console out tonight though!

Hinges on our cars are known to rust out and fall off. Body shops usually reweld the hinges when the car is in for body work like an accident or if the door simply won't close anymore.

Make sure the latch is released, and put a jack inside the car on the other side, with a wood beam or something across the car to the drivers door and see if you can jack it open. Block behind the jack on both ends so you don't bend the crap out of the opposite side too.
