Send a message to Dan Turner as he did it. IIRC the hinge fits with little or no work, but you do have to be creative on relocating the striker as that's changed.
 
The dude who used to own ORGS, the dude with the orange chopped xj, well, he changed out his older doors for some newer ones, and it seems like a nice upgrade. The door seems to seal better, and it wasn´t really noticable till I opened up the door, and saw the interior to be the newer style
 
The hinges are "way" different on the late models!

Any idea on how different?, maybe some pics.

I have succesfully completed the interior panel swap on the rear doors, but was also thinking of swapping the doors on the front due to the relocated inner handle.
