Thanks for the insight Chris. The vertical gap between door and front fender is greater than the similar area on opposite side of car. Thing is, even though the gap appears to be too wide, it is consistent in width from top to bottom.

Another problem is the drip rail, where the long horizontal aluminum pieces are attached. By slightly adjusting door, it looks like the upper right corner of door is going to smack into trim when opening. But if I don't raise the door, it's gonna keep scraping at bottom. And I still have to get the vertical door edge (top right corner) away from the B pillar. There is a nice sized gap at the angled A pillar, so I think there will be space to move door forward.

I'm hoping a competent body shop will figure this all out, and correct all the paint/ bodywork mistakes I'm discovering. Be very very very careful who you choose to do your paint/ bodywork...
