Hi,
It's a good feeling when the body goes on, even better when it fits.
Mine was about 20mm high (with the 3mm spacers) where the seats go because the rear chassis support arms were in the wrong place, I got some measurements from Norman and checked the chassis and found the rear arms were too high, I cut them off, reshaped them and welded them back to Normans measurements and the body fitted perfectly.
My front tyres are 205's, they stick out about 4mm each side equally. I altered the camber for the SVA test to bring them inside the arch, I put them back after the test and they look fine.
I found it took a lot of time to get the body position spot on, I had to take it off a few times to get everything to fit which is why I'm glad I did it before I had it painted because on the final fit everything just bolted on and I didn't damage the paint that's why it took me a few years. Good luck.
