Description may be a bit vague on this, but do not know how to state any other 
way.
 
I am in the process of getting ready to remove doors from my 76 TR6 for the 
body off restoration process mentioned last week.  Both doors, while in the 
process of being opened, make a really loud snapping (son says it almost is 
like a muffled gunshot) sound as they approach their full open position.  Car 
has done this since I bought it back in 1985.
 
While I am not particularly worried about it now, if it is a problem, want to 
make sure it gets placed on my "to-be fixed" list as the project progresses.
 
Is this noise just something that was part of the patena (makes it sound 
better) of the original engineering, or is something off?  
 
Again, thanks to all who reply.
