Hi  Gary,
When I did my resto on my TR3A, I had several members of our club  come and
help me align the body to frame. It was not that bad in aligning  body to 
frame
mounts by using guide pins or long drifts helped in the  alignment. However I
did not have two clips to align and that could be a  problem for you if the
measurements are not correct.
The body does not  sit on the door sills (rocker panel).  Good luck,

Gary,
I replaced both of my sills in  1987. They fit was horrible. At the  time I 
was convinced they wre for psot TS60,000 cars. A man who made car bodies  has 
an English wheel etc. He came over and fitted them. It involved  literally 
unfolding, cutting and refolding the sills.I welded them in (thank God  for 
fillers). Unl;ess they've changed a lot, it is a real job for a pro to fit  
them.
