Marc,
You must remember,I started rebuilding Deloreans back in 1982,BEFORE 
there was any workshop manuals,available,that door in question was 
door 1 removed in 1982,by myself,just picture someone with a door on 
their back,removing the door,yes with a Delorean door on your 
back,and removing bolts Not very smart,then lifting it away on your 
back,that was door 1.So the corner tips got slight damage VERY 
fixable.(during the lifting on my back,not from the actual removal)as 
I bumped the corners upon lifting by myself.  I learned real quick 
that it requires at least two people,one on each side of the door,so 
on all other cars two people were used with no problem,as vin 16686
(17YRS OF OPENING/CLOSING THE DOOR WITH NO PROBLEM) and the fire car 
and the red car(one bad hindge) and others that I did.I am NOT saying 
for everyone to do it that way,But if you master door removal,it can 
be done without any problem,again I learned the old fashion way,with 
hands on,and not by any book,in those days NOBODY was willing to help 
or give advice,as Deloreans were cars to be shunned,so I had to 
learn,by hands on,again NOT FOR EVERYBODY,my point is it can be 
done,but done ONLY BY SOMEONE that has MASTERED door REMOVAL,NOT by a 
NEW PERSON just starting on Deloreans,this is best left for someone 
with vast experiance on door removal.

Best Regards
Claude
