Fairway Taxi - Body Alignment

[masleeve]

My daily runabout is a 1996 Fairway Driver Taxi , it now needs new inner sills .
Looking at it there have been some localised repairs .
I want to check the body is straight and the previous repairs haven't distorted the body.
As it has separate chassis the wheel alignment has been checked and is spot on , the chassis is straight.

Does anyone have an alignment diagram ?
There isn't one in the manual and the manufacturers haven't been helpful.

Any assistance welcome

Pete

just weld them up body will be ok ive done loads of them over the years
body is held on by more than just the sills so no need to worry about the alignment just support the body if you cut all the sills out
remember it a meccano kit like land rover all bolts together

Thanks - octo0072000, I will support the body as I do it .
I am used to doing Morris Minors and have straightened quite a few in the process.


Cheers

if you are going to cutout the A B & C pillars all at the same time along one side i would weld some bars across the doors normally if they are that bad they get scrapped
