There you go - the diffinitive solution, you can all stop worrying and bitching about the bodywork now.....
The whole bodywork fitting process has been covered in fine detail in this wonderfully unbiased editorial......
To save you running out and spending your hard earned pennies on this literary masterpeice I have copied the entire section on this most tiresome
topic below.....

That made me chuckle too when I read it.
I hope you don't mind, but I've just posted a very similar post on the Yahoo Tiger list. It should start it all off again...........
Have you seen all the posts on there about bodywork?
Cheers
I'm not building a Tiger but I have been following the various threads about this subject. I've come to the conclusion that the secret is in
the jiggling. I have looked on various tool suppliers sites and am unable to find any jiggling tool, if anyone has any pictures could they post them
to the site please. Is it supplied by Tiger with the bodywork?
yours, Pete.
P.S. Is anyone building a car from scratch as I am having difficulty locating any of this as well?
You receive the Jiggling tool when you purchase the comprehensive kit. Us in the trade call it an ANGLE GRINDER.... I feel sorry for all the poor saps who will beleive this poo and order a kit, like myself and quite justifiably feel RIPPED OFF.
Tiger tool number one: Big hammer.
Tiger tool number two: Angle grinder.
Thats all thats required. Well it is a budget kit after all! 
Perhaps we should all write to the magazine and tell them what we think...

what a fantastic and accurate article, realy inspiring.
What do you think?
Excellent Colin!
I hear Tiger have scrapped the second edition of "the book". They're just going to supply back issues of Which Kit, then people will be
able to build one in about a month.
Oh what fools we are.......
read with interest your views on the bodywork.
was thinking of useing it on my locost
but ?
is it really as bad as you say........

Shall I draft a letter and forward you all a copy to be sent on to the mag?
Go on then Pat, your really getting into this letter sending thing. Perhaps you should publish your responses from Tiger?
Might be worth while sending a letter to the mag just to see if you get a response. Somehow i don't think you will. I almost had the misfortune to own the Avon sprint a few years back paid my deposit only to get bumped when the B*****d told me he had been liquidated. I'll Give Jim at Tiger his due he offered me a cat e1 for the same money as the sprint.
Wasn't the sprint expensive?
I think the Cat is cheaper to build than an Avon!
If i remember right about £1500 for all in kit. It would work out more expensive because of engine/box combination rover to type 9.
Will give it a go anyway.
I usually get a responce to my letters and gather a bunch of followers and haters at the same time!
Let's see who else I can annoy!
Pat...
I sent a letter to which when i got bumped by avon sprint needless to say it never got printed. Also SPD have they not been selling less that perfect goods (if i'm wrong then i apologise)

The original Avon was never designed to fit a Pinto as the chassis wasn't tall enough.
Pat...
I just fitted the body on the chassis. Whilst I agreed it could be made much better, it proved not to be a s difficult as I expected. I used a Dremel
type drill to sand out underneath the sections that fit over the tubes. Also ground off the projections on the chassiss welding. The rectangular
chassis member that holds the roll bar also had to be reduced in width as this was causing the side panel to twist.
I have one small crack on the nearside roll that I should be able to repair.
Annoying though that the nearside rear wing is 25mm wider than the other side.
The major problem that I had was the two roll bar diagonal stays that I welded on were not symetrical (bugger) my fault though.
Now it has to come off again as the gear linkage has to be altered (paddle type shift) (double bugger)
