    Default Lower front panel replacement

    Needing some info on this guys. Been told I need a jig to brace the chassis legs so they don't go out of line. Has anyone made one or bought one? Even pics would help me.

    There is a guide on here for front panel replacement, iirc they left the engine and gearbox in place as a way to brace the front end of the car

    Cheers guys. Mines is a bare shell rebuild. Engine is on a stand and shells on a trolley. Brace idea sounds best
