Fabrication assessment
The front outer wings both look pretty good at first glance but once we have the vehicle stripped down then we can check over and make another assessment. The bottom of the wings that connect to the sill are quite rusty so they will need to have some repairs done to them but this could be because of previous repairs that have been done.The rear valance seams solid but again, we will need to re assess once we have stripped the paint off to see if there is any more damage present.

Fabrication car on celette jig
Tried to mount the car to the jig to identify if the vehicle is straight. The rear of the chassis has picked up the jig brackets which would suggest that the chassis is straight from there forwards to the jig mount that picks up the car at the bulkhead unfortunately from the the car has some major issues that I have uploaded pictures of from one side to the other there is a a different of 10mm in hight from left to right and in the suspension mounts there is a twist of around 15 to 20 mm within the pick-up point on the car.
