Series 2a 109 Four Door- Doors, Rear Tub and etc. Alignment!
Well as I get closer to the body and assembly to the frame of my 109 2a... Is anyone aware of any videos that are really helpful to the assembly process or of things that they may have done to build their own series truck? I could use any and all helpful information.

There was a video from Brittanica Restorations a few years ago about lining up the doors and bulkheads.
Overall the main point was that the tub does not have any adjustment so you start from the back and work your way to the front. You will need to add spacers depending on the gaps you want.
I found aligning the bulkhead worked best with a ratchet strap from the window hinges to the front frame horn to fine tune it.
Make sure every bolt is loose as well while adjusting the pillars and bulkhead
