Door Hinges + Locking Mechanisms
okay im starting work on my car and my grandpa said to get the doors right as my first project. They close great and everything, but they sag a little bit...would it be smarter to buy 4 new hinges for my doors or to buy new bushings?
the locking mechanisms dont work too well either and they take a lot of jiggling and what not....would those be good to rebuild or just buy new ones??
also, the window regulators...my driver side windows work great and dont get pushed down even with a lot of force....the passenger windows basically fall down......im assuming i just get two passenger side window regulators and thats all i need?

What year is your stang dude? I would do bushing only if the doors are sagging. You need to take to door panel off and see what is going on with the windows. Don't start ordering parts until you know what is wrong.
my stang is 1968. the doors are slightly sagging and im gonna just get the hinge rebuild kit. (bushings, rods, springs)
i have the door panel off and the lock mechanism just seems tired...the passenger side lock just falls down unless you hold it up....the driver side is fine....would you agree this sounds like i need just one lock mechanism? i found them for 25 dollars on a website...

There is a helper spring on those. Look at the other side and I bet you will see it. If the spring is gone on the bad side just replace the spring and see if that will do it. Much cheaper than a new latch.
