distorted shell?

After what seemed like an eternity from removing the doors & interior fittings, bracing the apertures, cutting out the old sills & other rusted areas, repairing the floor edges & box sections and preparing the new inner sill panel for fitment to the point where I could finally weld the new panel in imagine my dismay when I tacked the new inner sill panel in and refitted the doors only to find that the doors were way out of alignment and had to be almost forced to close. These pictures may give you some idea - I was about to call the local scrap dealer and say 'take this away from me, I'm losing my mind'



Above is LHS rear door. Below is LHS front door. The pictures show the doors just at the closing position but not pushed in, you can see from the chrome trim strips how far out the doors are from closing cleanly : [


So I checked the other side (RHS front at top with RHS rear below) where the sill has never been removed and they were perhaps worse, particularly the drivers door but I put this down to wear in the hinges as this door is use much more than the others.

I was puzzled. How could the B posts on passenger side have moved with all that bracing? How could the driver's side be worse when the sill hasn't been remove from that side? I spent alot of time adjusting the hinges with little success.......and gave up to go and trawl the web etc for solutions.
