Here is another problem with my car not being straight. Its the drivers side door. Do you think there is anyway to fix this? I hope so because this part of the car really bothers me.

Lol, yea. But we need to look past the door handle to where the door isn't straight with the rear quarter panel. But thank you CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. Rub in some more of my cars flaws lol. The previous owner actually had scotch tape over the cracked area and painted it red.
"Because he's Captain... CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!"
Check your hinge alignment - and also if your hinges are sagging. You can test if your hinges are sagging by opening the door and pulling up. If you feel some play (where the door raises up without the car moving) then you may have sagging hinges (common when your doors are as massive as ours).
My door used to sag a bit - causing the door to not want to close easily. After I got the hinges fixed things were MUCH better!

Yea I've already done this twice. Once because the door was sagging from the previous owner and another time because the door was swung open too hard and dented in the fender. But it was like this since I've had it. Anyone kno approx. how much this would cost at the body shop if they can even do it?
Hey Keith - how did you get your hinges fixed? Did you replace them with new ones, or adjust them somehow?
have you loosened that door up at one point? maybe the previous owner? lol and no I didnt notice the door alignment till it was pointed out. I wasnt looking hard enough.
What do you mean by loosened? I've changed the hinges on it twice, if thats what you mean. And sorry i wasnt clearer lol. I guess its been getting to me for so long im just self concious of it. :icon_bigg I'm not even gonna try to tackle this problem so anyone work at a body shop or something that could give me an estimate or someone who had something like this and got it fixed that could give me a price? Or anyone with some type of educated guess?
