INKA

Some bad news unfortunately, it's been in an accident. But since it is all taken apart it gets a little easier to fix.

Just checking: you have no family / friend /job obligations in the coming (few) years?
Or will you be outsourcing?

I do outsource family and friends, rent them by the hour for things like Christmas and birthdays, how did you know?

Oh, the cars? They are with Miklos in Hungary.

Wow… that’s some damage all over the place. Going to keep your guy busy for quite a while.

And I'm whining about those little dents in my e9.....

What will be your time schedule for those?

Did you observe any damage on the front main support and/or the front leg support?

How much is the gap compared to the standard?

Very thorough!
I'm about to take on tej front end, and I need to replace also the strut tower as I have rust coming through the upper layer.

I see you have a Celette body jig. What do you have under the strut towers for support?

I am wondering how I should position my strut tower parts in their correct 3d position, prior to welding them in place.

Any advice?

it is not me doing the work, I am not sure exactly how to advice on that, am also not sure, can't be easy. In the pic below it look like they are balancing it on that yellow pole

And metalwork for TAIGA is done, took approximately 3 months for a car that needed quite a bit of work. Kudos to Miklos for that!
