I recons he'd need to skim a few thou off the face first, it's possible he was experimenting with the first braile digital watch but I think it just wants to die now

@dieseldog69 - had a thought .... (dangerous)
how about 2off 4x2 timbers clamped vertically on outside of NS sill, inside door access area, scaff pole across OS door window and ratchet straps between the two?
tightening ratchet straps should pull sill around, without lifting the body.........
wotcha think?

Sounds very Landyzone-ish .. I'd say go for it, what could possibly go wrong?
Is there to be fire involved? Just wondering, perhaps a video camera judiciously setup on a tripod ...
What and put my special tool in the dustbin of shame
We can evaluate all available options

as its sposed to be a tad damp on Friday, might mean working inside (no room for your tool, as it is sposed to be quite big)
so here we go......
angle of timbers before
Strapping method
Timber angle after
A post alignment after sill alignment
It is easy to see how much the floor has dropped with the sill angle corrected.
Still some more fettling required, but its a lot closer

Nice work there, that looks like it will go
Not as Heath Robinson as I was expecting
I think there will be enough strength to hold it one we get the B pillar positioner in an the A post bottom in there, should work out to be a productive evening

Are you going to want to drill and fit crush tubes in that box section to accommodate them before we move onto the next bit?

iIdont think so. Not sure if its the best option any more. Will consider it later. Best to get the main body done, I reckon.
I might sell them and refabricate something
