I have the same problem with Mrs Peel. I added body shims, but that didn't
help too much. Near as I can tell this is simply the way the car was built,
and to fix it would be a major undertaking. I have seen other cars with the
same condition. I'm just living with it and trying to keep the rest of the
car
running! :-)
