doors and headlights

[SebringGlenn]

So whats the best way the remove the doors from a wedge? Going to paint it and change the colour, and need to renew the bushings, door are sagging a bit... And how does one access the headlight pods?

To work on the headlight pods, the easiest way is to raise up the pod with the light switch and then remove the fuse or relay. Turn the power off and the pod will stay up. Then remove the headlight assembly and work through the hole.
You should also have a hole under the nose on each side to manually crank the pod up in the event of the power loss. IF you crank them up with power still flowing they most likely will go up so far and then retract shut. use care.

The doors, I'll leave to someone else to address since I haven't removed mine in many years.

Remove the door skin off the frame then they will line up when you put them back on

If you want to change the bushes you'll need to remove the door with the hinges. This means unbolting the top & bottom hinges.



This is a bstard of a job and you should get someone to help you as the doors are very heavy.

Thank you all for the input. My car is a major project (got it that way) and I will need much assistance before it's back on the road I'm sure. I am currently breaking it down (the rest of the way) for a respray, and to replace the engine. and do the interior... like I said major project. I did find some new drawings this afternoon. They are under the nose, found them when trying to figure out the light pods.
