Hello All
Looking for a recommendation of somewhere that can check and re-align the body shell of my 3dr race car. I have searched the forums but cannot find anyone who I think might have the correct alignment data available and has experience with repairs to the 3dr shell. Not a major crash repair, but took a knock to one of the ARB bracket mounts and want to get it checked and everything back to where it should be. I'm based in the midlands but happy to travel in order to get it done right.

Link to a pic of the car:

Cheers

Hi Luke
Thanks for that info. Using the Spanesi recommendation I have found a few different types of jigs including Car-o-liner. A quick search has come up with a few options including:

Strange that all the basic searches I tried on the web, they never came up despite the obvious website name.

Car-o-liner is a good jig same as global jig diffrents with the spanasi jig is they normally have all the fitment parts with them so they don't need to be ordered in hence saving more cost on jiggin things .
If you get stuck feel free to drop me a message
Thanks

if you know the other side is correct simple measuring using datum points should be able to show if it is aligned correctly or not...or another member on here with a known straight car could let you measure against it...is it front or rear? if front any great difference would show up on a basic check surely[set back etc]

Thanks all for the help.
Would prefer to use data rather than try to match one side to the other. Then I know that both sides are correct.
