Shimming the body is pretty straight forward. IMHO, any professional
restoration shop that can't get it right isn't very competent.
Don't let a
door gap steer you away from an otherwise good car. It can be
fixed....just
takes time and money or time and skill. :-)

Subject: Re: [TR] TR6 body gap at driver's door
detaching the body from
frame and shimming is the only way to fix that -
and it is very hard to get
right - I have seen more than 1 car look worse
after this has been attempted
by competent restoration shops.
- and finding a TR6 with perfect door/body
gaps can be a bit like looking
for a unicorn.

I am looking for a TR6 and came across one with quite a gap at the

side of the driver door where it meets the back of the body. The door
closed OK, but it didn't look good.
The fellow said he had talked to a body
shop and they said they could
detach the tub at the back and shim up the
body to fix the gap.
