My daughter was T-boned in September. The other car hit her on the left rear door and driver door. The doors are both destroyed. The front driver's door opens and latches so the pillar where the front door latch seems like it is not bent much or not at all. I have doors for the car but the pillar between the doors, lower rear door hinge mount, looks like it is bent in 1/4 to 1/2 inch. The upper hinge looks okay looking at the top of the window fit with the body but the rear door will not open. I put a 2-ton come-along on the lower front edge of the door by the hinge and just moved the car when I pulled with the come-along. Is there a way to anchor the car on the side and then use the 2-ton come-along to try and pull out the hinge mount? I have a tractor to pull on the car and trees to use as an anchor also but don't want to do more damage anchoring the car. Where would a collision/body shop anchor the car?
Any ideas on the best way to pull the bottom of the rear door by the wiring boot out with the intent of straightening the the bottom hinge mount out 1/4 or 1/2 inch? No heat can be used since there is wiring in the pillar.
I would really like to repair this car. It is only driven in the Summer here in MN and has never seen salt. I have driven the car since the accident and it drives fine so the uni-body seems to not be out of alignment from the accident.
I will quit rambling.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
