It's in very bad shape, with every panel and section been poorly repaired.

Doors are repaired first, as these will give some details of alignment, making sure the hinges align straight and true with pins fitting smoothly.

The vehicle is placed on our roll over frame/ jig, the chassis section needs to repaired at this point so it can be bolted to the jig, as some of the fixings in the chassis are missing.
