A lovely car!
The usual problem is that the whole scuttle has dropped relative to the B-post, probably because the mounting points to the front cross-member outriggers have rotted out. Plating and packing should cure this.
Not my car, Martin (cut & pasted from Pinterest) but thanks for your reply. Something I need to investigate because the driver's door seems to be sagging more than it was, and it's not the hinges. Would I be right in assuming that I would need to loosen ALL the body mounting points before resorting to packing the scuttle? I've never had the body off this car, although it probably has been at some time. Should this be done with the doors attached?
