Diagnosed why the hatch wasn't lining up: Hinge bolts are finicky
Diagnosed why the C pillar cover sat too low: Needs two tubes of urethane calk for a giant arse bead.
Diagnosed the offset in the axle: Mounting box welded to the body is pushed up and over/in toward the drivers side. Welds haven't cracked so he's just gonna pull on it.

And pics after he gave up on it for the day to get an easier job done. Gonna have a mechanic come in and assist in lining up the axle/suspension geometry tomorrow and tuesday.

Should have it back Wednesday w/ all the setbacks.

Looking so good Zabo!! If I were you I would be having issues with sleeping for the next few days!
