Tamiya Opel Astra DTM not sitting right!
For anyone who built this kit, did you have problems getting the body to sit on the chassis?
I seem to have something stopping it sitting flat and can't for the life of me find what it is!
The driver side sits perfect, but the other side is sitting some 3mm too high?
Any ideas?

Mine worked fine, it's the Alfa DTM that I had trouble with the front end not fitting.

Check the fit around the rear inner wheel wells, that seems to be the tricky area.

IS THAT YOU !!!

Check the postion of the door hinges. I found that mine was hitting on the roll cage and stopping it from sitting down correctly.

Thanks guys, sorted it!
Had to break the seal on the rear wheel wells, seems best to have a bit of movement there! Now sits great!
Pics soon...!

Yes Warren, it's me! I'm Back!
