      Yeah, having watched a few people work on monocoque cars, it’s nice to be able to ‘just’ start with a straight chassis!

    Wow I have never seen that part of the manual that discusses frame measurements, so it's good to know now that it exists and I will try hunt it down now. I will need to do the same at some point on my Spit mk3 as It has taken a shunt at some point and the body seems to be sitting over to one side a little when I look at the wheel arches and tire placement , I have a XYZ laser-level which I am thinking might be helpful in shooting those lines on the floor etc so when I get that far I give it a crack. Cheers for the video Kris.
    Oh P.S I also watched your vid on the sandblasting cab and yup you make some very valid points I hadn't thought of , reminded me as the cab was in the back of shot, Brought the same product here in New Zealand and it is very very slow to use sadly.

      If you’ve not got a factory manual then if you search for vitessesteve there’s a website with electronic copies of a number of the manuals. If there’s not what you need there then shoot me an email and I can send scans of a few pages. Fingers crossed you don’t find anything majorly wrong though! Is your Spit a NZ assembled one?
      Yeah the blast cab could be better but still does alright. For me it wins out over wire brushing etc any day as it’s more effective and makes much less mess!

    Why don't you get the body sandblasted or chemically dipped And then do all this work on it, you'll be able to see a lot more of what needs doing, at the moment you're just making things hard for yourself

      I have looked in to blasting, but have not found anywhere local that will do it, and as the car is only sort of rolling, transport is awkward. Aside from that, I don’t really want to be able to see absolutely all the faults at once. I much prefer being able to work in smaller sections and worry about the next problem once the current one is dealt with.
