Re: Jim Wallace,s front end body alignment problems mailed to the list this
sunday past.A few suggestions,hopefully they may help. First check the inner
sills,they connect the front clip to the rear clip,they are the back bone of
the car body,they keep the door gaps even, meaning no sagging,if they are weak
the body could twist,droop, while not supported by the frame? Where the front
inner fenders bolt to frame on the diagonal,there are 1/4 thick aluminum
spacer(s) (factory) that could be added to or subtracted from ,to raise one
side reverse the other , maybe leave none on one side and two on the other?
that may help the outer fender hieght? as for the captive nut misalignment I
do not have enough expierence, but the outer fenders are spot welded together
in three pieces,and can be separated with a hand drill. Lots of work,I did it
for rust repair? the enthusiast,s restoration guide writen by Roger Williams
,title How to restore Tr 2,Tt3&3A has many do,s and don.ts of tr3 bodywork?
anyway I would appreciate any progress updates Regards Randy Homanchuk
