Replaced door hinge and handle on Driver’s side. 1990 Volvo 240.

This past month I had the hinge area cleaned up and re-welded. A new door handle was also installed.
I lubed everything mechanical inside the door. Lastly, I realigned the door to close perfectly and it all works great as it should. I’m happy with it. Here are photos of the work.
