Mmmmm, an electrician who's no good at DIY ? That's a bit worrying! biggrin



What's wrong with them, doors "dropped" ?

Door hinges are fiddly (time consuming = expensive) but not complicated, why not have a go?

I believe Adrian is good at this type of thing... Exactly tvr iirc..

Or one of the tvr body shops live surface and design should be able to do it.

You could try Eric Poole and Sons at Claydon near Ipswich.

They do a lot of body work for Kerridges. The work I have had done by them is first class.

They recently did a full re spray on my S3C removing both doors to replace hinges at the same time.

Newmarket to Coventry, about 100 miles?
