Vitesse door alignment

Hi
I Recently put the front and rear tubs back onto the chassis and have been playing around with spacers for a few weeks, trying to get everything lined up. The passenger door needs to drop slightly at the door shut end but the latch on the B post is set at it's lowest level. Its not a lot out, but adding or removing spacers between body and chassis has no effect, as its the relationship between the door striker plate and latch on the B post. I replaced the door skin and going by the problems I have had with repro front wings and o/s rear wing, this is probably what is causing the problem. I may be expecting to much regarding panel alignment. Other than lowering the captive plate on the inside of the B post, which will be difficult to do I am not sure of any other options. The drivers door has different problems as the lines are not bad, but the door sits a few mm high against the top of the rear wing, anyone had similar problems, and any suggestions appreciated.

Doesn't look that bad actually!  Seen worse on new Heralds!  I'd try raising the bulkhead on the chassis by using spacers to give more clearance on the striker plate.
