My 250 had a similar problem and shimming worked better than I could have
hoped for. Regarding whether or not to keep looking, I guess it is all down
to how much you are prepared to spend. I'd rather have a gap on a rust-free
car which drives and handles well than have a trailer queen.

If it was me, I would keep looking.

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.
Any thoughts on that?
