Default Pre 97 Hinges on Post 97 XJ

Has anyone done it (pictures please)? Im considering it. If Done right they will line up right every time, unlike my doors now! What would it involve, if its even possible?

Im not understanding the point of this swap. If its so you can remove your doors I can on my '01 so there is really no point in the swap. That and it wont be easy to weld the mounts straight on the body.

Would be less work to just modify your existing hinges

You mean post 98. Every 97 Ive ever seen have the same hinges as the 96.

Requires cutting of originals and welding on the pre's
