DOESN'T LOOK TOO BAD TO ME NICK....You are definitely getting there....

The bodies aren't totally universal due to 'peculiarities' on each car....you say the wheel is closer to the bulkhead one side compared to the other ...have you checked your wheelbase measurement ? We built a car for a customer last year and couldn't get it right , after hours of going crazy , trying to work out what we had done wrong , I measured the wheelbase and it was about 3/4'' out !!

You may need to cut that cill overhang off , if you can tease the body back a bit more even better ...we have clamped one side before and pulled the other because the bodies have parallelogrammed whilst sitting about ...if you do that make sure you fix or clamp the rear in place and then re-centre the front to avoid the body being too far over one side...
