found and welding into place. At the same time a new wood block was<br />
fitted for the bottom hinge screws, the door skin has been gently refitted,<br />
and the other two hinges have been fitted with new screws.<br />
The door opening has previously been worked on with a new wood frame<br />
top and sides. New narrow edge panels on one side had been cut and put<br />
in place loosely without fixing. With a little work the other side panels<br />
will be usable. The bottom wooden step was loosely in place but when<br />
we tried to put the door into position on the hinges, the centre hinge did<br />
not line up and the step proved to be too high. On removing this step<br />
and a certain amount <strong>of</strong> wood from the left pillar the door closed, but<br />
overhung at the bottom instead <strong>of</strong> fitting flush the same as the rest <strong>of</strong> the<br />
door. After much puzzlement we realised the hinges on the body are<br />
three different lengths, the longest at the top and the shortest at the<br />
bottom, the last repairers had fitted the shortest hinge in the middle.<br />
(This reinforces the reason why everybody walked away from this job).<br />
On removing the bottom step, we reversed the angle iron to fix the floor<br />
to the inner panel and changed the hinges around then refitted the door.<br />
