3 door tin top hinges
My passenger door has always sagged, it has been on my to do list, working abroad does not give me a lot of time to sort these jobs out.
My plan is to take the door off and replace the hinges/pins.
Is it worth taking a couple of hinges from a donor rotten door if i can find one (not necessarily rotten) rather than getting the new mk1/2 hinges that have to be drilled out. Or am i flogging a dead horse and should just buy the new ones.
Second question is if buying new apart from opening the hole to accommodate the slightly larger pin is there anything else i should be aware of.

you could try a couple upper hinges, they usually dont have play. but then again the upper ones are usually harder to get out as less room to get in the vice
linky for mk2, but mk1 procedure is the same:
