Repairing the Door Hinges and Aligning the PanelsI got 5 hours of uninterrupted time in the garage today and got a lot done.

I started by taking pictures and measurements so I could use them as reference to align all the panels back again. I got lucky and the latch on the shut face panel came right off, not so lucky on the door hinges so I just drilled the heads off.
