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 rear 
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.
