Default Door "sagging"... hits the bottom of the doorjam when shutting

Looks like someone has been swinging on the driver's side door of my "new" (used) 92 VX hatch. When it shuts, it hits the bottom of the jam pretty hard. Is there any way to adjust the existing hinges or do I need to replace them?

I see where I can get at the bolts that mount the hinges, but it looks like I'll have to remove the front quarter panel to do it. So, I'd like to know whether I need to have new hinges on hand first. Thanks!

Thanks! I wanted to know if there was any adjustment before removing the quarter panel. I'll give it a try this week.
