Major DOOR issue (on my 93)!

[UltimateSVT]

Guys, for a little over 1 year now my driver's side door has been hanging a bit lower than usual. About 7-8 months ago the guy that painted my cordovan 97 showed me how to help the door a bit by using a jack to force the door back up a bit. He did just that & it worked. The door went back into place but in the last couple months it started doing the same thing. I have to slam the door pretty hard in order to close it properly.

Well, I "tried" to imitate what the car painter did but instead I made it waaaaaay worst. Now my door is hanging lower than it should by about a half inch. It's clipping the lower part of my fender pretty badly. I had to give my prairie tan to my my wife for her to drive because I know there will be permanent damage done to the car if that door continues to be open/closed. Not to mention how hard I have to yank it from the inside of the car for it to close properly.

SO..... How do I bring the door back up to its original place?

I'd just do both hinges it's pretty simple

Go buy RH door hinges in the junkyard and install them on the LH side. That's what I did. We removed the fender to install them to save ourselves any headache. RH side hinges will have been used less and generally have less wear on them. The hinges are interchangeable.

Instead of jacking door up...you should have had pins and bushing then

Might just hit the junk yard for a full set of good hinges! Thought there might be an easier process. Well, it doesnt get any easier than just swapping a part.
