Please..looking for detailed pics of fix not that you saw it done but in detail if possible thank you prefer pics by the way
 
Sagging door? The panel or the actual door? If it is something that is bent that severely on the door, I would fear structurual damage.
 
Never checked on these cars, but a lot of vehicles have brass bushings in the door hinges. Go to a parts store and you can find them in the help section. Easy peasy to change out.
 
I'm talking about the whole door not the panels

Never checked on these cars, but a lot of vehicles have brass bushings in the door hinges. Go to a parts store and you can find them in the help section. Easy peasy to change out.

I've asked the parts people at a local parts store and they came up with nothing..but anyone else have any input on this?
 
You can also take the fender off and adjust the hinge. The door pins themselves wear too, you can usually get away for a while anyway by adjusting it.
 
you mean like move the whole door up or down? seems like that is my issue
 
ok i'll look at them later today you also said there are pins that could be replaced where could I find those? parts store?
 
Loosen the door hinges (which should be lose or bent which is causing the saging) have someone hold the door straight while you tighten it back up.
 
How bad is it sagging?

If just a little, and you are doing it alone:
Take off the fender, shut the door, loosen the hinges, add a shim to push the door up a little on the back (latch does allow for some movement), tighten the hinges, re-install the fender.
