Fitting front doors ? no sweat, I use a tried and trusted method ........ be gentle at first then as no doubt when its not going together too well .... make it happen!!! .... get that sledge hammer out of the garage and smash the frigging thing into place, belt it as hard as you possibly can, swear curse out loud and use lots of provanities ... walk away have a lovely nice quite cuppa then when rested hit that friigin mother of a door over and over and over agin ....  when its finally where you want it start thinking about the panel repairs  ;D

Haha Eddy - great to have you BACK.

Seems we have the same teacher.

Oh by the way, I had a little old lady come up to me today saying she used to own a van just like mine - turns out it was that very one :D

hey bro,  ;) that little old lady and her hubby were the second owners, they and their three kids piled into the camper on two ocassions to travel up north through the outback and Territory, believe or not all five of them slept in the beddie,  Professor John Bird even left a memento, check out the bottom panel just in front of one the rear wheels not sure which side, you'll find the under panel pushed up. thats where he placed the jack when they got bogged outback, nice old man and genuine bloke. Heard another tale about the van, had a lady walk past saw the van and asked where I got it from, told her and she reckons she remembers having pyjama parties in the beddie when she was a kid, apparently she grew up with the Professor's kids and they used to sleep out in the beddie, she even looked in the back and reminisced about old days, not a bad van to own full of good times and great memories   ;D
ekm ...... never lead with your chin, let others lead with theirs
