The most frustrating part of the build? Door alignment?

I have spent all day screwing with this door. I have a feeling that its the door itself that is screwed up. Its a 72 door, it does have some rust on it. Can you guys take a look at these pics and let me know what you think i should adjust or if i need to cut out some spot welds and readjust the door frame area itself??? Bad hinges a cause maybe? There are some play in the hinges. IDK if that would cause this.

Here is the issue. On the top left corner it touches. No matter what i do, i cant get it to not rub there. WIth EVERY single alignment gap where it should be it touches in that area. If you look at the pic you will see that the door kind of sags at that upper right area. Ther eis a good .5 inch gap there and touches on the left side. I can get it to where the door shuts nice, all the gaps are nice, but that ONE area in the upper left touches. ANYONE have any suggestions????

see the gap difference???







Also, you see there is a tiny gap. ONLY way i could get that gap was removing the door jamb striker itself. The door hits on the door jamb so i cant maintain that gap... Door sits to low.
