Default Saggy driver door

So I recently purchased a 95 ej1 with a b16a2 swap. Only paid 2K and love the car so far. No problems except my driver is kinda saggy when I open it. Is there any way to fix this? I really don't want to let this get any worse than it is. I've visually inspected the "hinges" but have not taken any thing apart since I have never worked on a door or replaced one before. Any help is much appreciated!!

Best way. Take off the fender to get access to the bolts securing the door hinges. Loosen, adjust door and retighten. Best to have someone with you to make it easier.

also when you do what grumble said check the pins to see if the bushings have any damage to them. If they are worn you need to replace them so they don't start to wear on the hinge itself.

My pins were to far gone and couldn't be adjusted. So I drilled out the pins and used a bolt in its place. Dont remember what size I just used what I had. Worked great.

I should have something in my arsenal to replace a pin if needed. I just hope the bushing's aren't bad. Don't feel like dealing with them AT ALL
