I’m sure this is covered somewhere, but I wasn’t able to find it. The door jams on my GEN one coupe do not line up very well with my hinges, and I need to enlarge them on the body. Any idea how to cut these door jam openings out a little bit more to fit the hinges?180747180747

Hello, I used an oscillating saw with a blade made for cutting wood.

I use a jig saw or Dremel with a cut off wheel to trim the fibreglass, wear safety glasses and a dust mask.
