Thanks Wal, it may not be much different from when it was new. It should all come out in the alignment of the wheels I hope. I have Caster/Camber plates.

Motivation is feeling good, finally feel like I am making progress, floor on passengers side was stuffed, drivers side has been reskinned, but on investigation the original layer was fairly sound, so I have removed the top layer and will do a small repair to the factory floor.
Was tricky fitting the floor into the car around the cage, but now it is sitting nearly in place it looks like it will fit pretty well, now just to crack out the welder and get it all stitched in, hopefully not too hard.
Thankfully Wal (2 doors) has offered me a driving lesson, it has been probably nearly 35 years since I have welded anything.
