I did the same thing on a pair of doors that came off a dump truck! I had a gap of 1/2" at the top when I mounted them. I drilled out all the spot welds(as you did) put the top loop where I wanted it and welded her home! Glad you stayed with it! cheers, Pat

Did you have older repop doors? What brand were they?

Yeah, sometimes they don't weld things in the right place. Good job.

I replaced doors on frod once, the skins weren't even welded to the shell. :(

They were lmc doors. Can't blame the door the original door hit at the same places.
