All,

Today I took the doors off the car. (With more than a little help from 
Victor Laury). I didn't know that the door hinges connect to the chassis 
with a floating hinge mount. I guess it is so you can adjust the door 
alignment. Pretty neat. Problem is I broke a bolt off on one of the mount 
points.

I have now re-read the posts about removing the broken head bolt. Problem is 
this piece moves. Do the rules change? Drill it out? Easy out? Or do I just 
say screw it and let the body shop take care of it?
