My door seems to have dropped on its hinges and as a result when i try to open it i get door panel onto front quarter panel and it wont go past a couple of inches open. Anyone know of any easy fixes without doing too much damage? Also i'm looking to purchase a new front bumper as mine has seen better days. Anyone know any sellers? and what price i should be paying?

Tom, to open the door without too much damage to paint on the fender, you could try laying 3 layers of masking tape down the rear edge of the fender to try to protect the paint, then insert some ice cream sticks into the gap, then tape them to the fender to hold them in place. Then try carefully to open the door, the sticks will help lever the door past the fender. Failing this you might have to undo the fender bolts and move it slightly forward till you can get enough clearance to open the door. Hope this helps.
