The biggest thing I have dealt with is the body twist which was only in the right rear guard and was high at the tailight by 1-1/2", I now have it down to under 1/4" by careful tweaking and some spacers and it now sits there with no stress. I think the body was a bit green when it was loaded into a container from the UK.

Good luck Patrick with your bondo I will get to that stage shortly!
Ant...1/4"??? sounds like your letting your tolerances creep out a bit, I thought I was a bit slack trying to live with 2mm (0.080") on the coupe.
Maurice B.. its good to know your quite happy to do this sort of thing
