Awesome cheers lads, I'm going to remove the front guards anyway to attack some rust so that'll work well. I've got those packers at work so even better! I'll keep yous updated on how it goes, I've got the door trims already off so might look at sandwiching it to, its a bit of a slow project at the moment with life, kids and work in the middle, but will keep yous in the loop.

To easy I might try have a look at what's there today, are all the models torx bits or do some models have bolts? The bushes feel ok from memory, just the door dropped the other day while I was working on it. I should have some of those penny washers kicking around, I'll see if I've got any thick ones there if not I'll grab some and give that a try first before looking at making a plate, cheers mate .

Awesome thanks mate, do u remember how thick the plate was? Can you leave the door on, unbolt that hinge and slip it in there?

Hi deankdx, I know this is a 4 yr old thread, but can you give me anymore info on this repair? I'm doing some work on my old rusty xe sedan project and noticed my passenger side door has dropped, at first I thought it was hinge bushes, but upon inspection I notice the door is broken around the bottom hinge mounting area. It's a budget build and just need to get the door sitting straight again..... Cheers
