One of the two doors lower hinges are repaired, still need to weld the skin back on the door and will need some minor tweaks (bending) once matched up to the body

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car, understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you when you hit it.

Still need to check the fit onto the coaches (as the 74 door doesn't like being on the 78) might need some minor adjustments, and the skins need to still be reattached (probably will weld them) but here's the pics of the 1978 hinge repair
