Aligning the front of Elli

Hi,
After I finally got my parts on Monday, I can’t wait to start ;).

So, I started with the front !
I bought the complete shock tower assemblies, so I used this as the starting point !
The LH fit very well, the RH not so good. So I had to adjust some things.
The holes for the steering are to small and not aligned properly, so I drilled them out.
To align the front as perfect as possible, I also mounted the monto carlo bar and the export brace.

The next in line were the floor supports.
Unfortunately the repro parts have the holes drilled on a different location, so I drilled new ones to use them with my bench.
The floor supports are 100% in balance – nice ;).

The radiator support will need a lot of labour, it fits not very nice …
But I will fix it 😀 ….

At the end, I put in the firewall and I was surprised how good it fit on the LH side.
There I have no space at all.
The RH side will need also a bit massage …

The shock tower assembly on the RH side is around 1-2 mm higher than the LH side, so I need to adjust ist the next time.
This could be the reason why it fits not as good as the other side !
I try to have the tolerances in the range of 0,5-1mm – so better as assembled in the plant 😀 !

Thats it for today, here some pictures:
