Default TE Cortina drivers / front door sag

g'day

Our TE is suffering the dreaded front door sag to the point where we broke the exterior handle trying to open it. Driver's side front.

Can someone enlighten me how to repair or replace the hinges?

Or do these suffer from cracking in the pillar or door?

The passenger front is undergoing a similar fate.

cheers

new hinges mate. super easy to replace. take the kick panel off and the bottom hinge bolts are right there. the top hinge bolts are just up under the dash.

I left my cortina drivers door sag for such A long time that when I went to fix it the door the striker was damaged, and now the door rattles all the time. So best to fix it before it is to late. I find the pins keep sliding down and that makes door sag too.
