New Door Shell does not fit???

NEVER, I say NEVER buy ANY japanise repo parts. They will NOT fit period.

If the fenders you ordered are japan parts CANCEL the order now, they will NOT fit either.

Most vedors that sell American parts will state so. Not sure on mexican parts, I have never used repo mexico stuff.

Yep - they are Japan repo door shells - so are the fenders.

Any thoughts on what brand and where to get a good fitting door??

I kinda hated to say that without leaving a answer/solution. I used to use Autokrafter somewhere in Va. C.J. Pony Parts come to mind. Try google search for American parts that you need.

Its crazy, I went through this many years ago and things still have not changed with japan parts.

Serious though, cancel the fenders. They will not line up either.

OK - got 2 new door shells and fenders - these are from Tiawan. They fit better - but still not perfect. I think with a little persuasion - the doors will be OK. The fenders fit great. What order should these go in. I remember in a previous post that the door should go on first, then all the gla - adjust the door once it is at full eight and then add the fender last. Does this sound right?
