In theory everything that's going back on came off so it should fit nicely - but yes, I think a dry build will be wise. In particular I need to check the repairs to the wing mounting panels position the wings well.911hillclimber wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:19 am That's a nice repair Rob!
Good to do this than spending tons on parts that may not fit.
Trust you will do a dry build on the body before paint?
That's still some way off though, yet. The big welding job still remaining is the sills. They're good in the main body but are holed below the door catch. The kidney bowls on a 1970 come in two parts - vertical and horizontal. The vertical part is intact but water has run down onto the horizontal part so that will need replacing at the very least, and I'll probably replace the reinforcement at the jacking point. I can see that when jacking the car at the jacking point, the door opening changes shape slightly so I'll take extreme care to keep everything in its original shape.
