Default Body work problems

Hi, I am new to the forum although I have visited the site in search of info many times. I have a 1994 Formula. It has usual 20 year old car problems like front bumper sagging and a hanging muffler tip, etc... but what has me worried is the doors and passenger quarter panel. I believe they are all connected because the quarter panel has poor bondo work indicating some sort of accident, the passenger side door has about a half in gap at the rear when closed and the driver side has no gap and hits the black part of the sail panel when closed. Is the body panels out of wack this bad or does this mean a bent frame? thanks for any info you can provide.

Do you have more gap between the driver door and fender than on the passenger side?

sounds like your body is twisted, thats not a full frame car.

take it to a body shop and see if they can put it on the frame machine for ya. find a good one with a laser measuring system and they can most likely fix it.
