I'm the one that had the problem with the door spring a few weeks ago. Let
me know if you get it straightened out, because I still haven't been able
to. Wrecking my seats by crawling in and out, but like you am still loving
it.
I've got a line on an old mechanical here that worked for Nissan in the late
sixties, so I'm going to see him the weekend. I'll let you know if and how
he fixes it.
