Due to the clearance there you need to be cautious with fasteners. I'd be shopping the hardware store and probably use some sort of hinge setup for the new door. Then seal it with fuel resistant RTV.
I wouldn't try to do this with the tank in the chassis, since there really is near zero clearance between the sheet metal and the top of the tank.

I own a 1989 T Bird SC and I read on the internet that some cars didn't say what makes have a access hole in the floorboard to change the fuel pump thats in the tank. Could someone tell me if the 89 SC has a access hole so the tank does not have to be dropped.
do a search, I can't remember who posted it but there is a thread with a drawing/pic of where to cut a hole under the rear seat. They did not come with one from the factory.

Hi Gents, I'm trying to salvage my 95 Sc. My fuel pump died and the mechanic wants to send the car to the scrap yard.
Can you guys give me a better picture as to where to cut the hole in the back seat for pump access ?
Thanks , I'll probably need a better picture than the one posted.

Here is a pic that might help you locate the hole. I used a drill and some tin snips.
Th'HELL???
Look, with a lift, it's a 1 hour job max to swap the fuel pump. What ELSE is wrong with your car?

Well ... There is one hard thing about the fuel pump job. Rusted exhaust studs! Other than that, it's not too bad. Just awkward to get the tank down without a helper.
I agree, it is a rather minor thing to scrap a car over.
Funny how people want to jack up a car, drop everything out to access the fuel tank to get to a fuel pump. And than reinstall everything. Its easy to access the pump and one can cut an access hole in far less time and not have rust dropping in your face from rusty bolts and parts. I had problems on the dyno once with my pump. Didnt even unstrap it from the dyno. 10 minutes, pump pulled, fixed and reinstalled, ready for my next pull. I always feel if its an easy fix than its a no brainer. Just saving a car from the bone yard should be simple thing.

If you guys are having problems with rusted exhaust studs... then the problem is obvious... you aren't replacing your transmission often enough.Well ... There is one hard thing about the fuel pump job. Rusted exhaust studs!
