Chassis data for Ta 22 wanted

[Rex]

Hello.Im doing restauration of a 1972 Ta 22 in Norway and desperately seeking the chassis measurements for a ta 22. The excact size of the door openings- a-pillar to the not existing b-pilar .Front window opening.flor to roof etc.... Toyota dealers in Norway has trowed away all old stuff and can,t help... Dont have any similiar car in the area to measure from neither.... Anyone ?

Why do you need them anyways?

I can understand getting corner to corner engine bay - ie to pull the front corner out if theyre smashed but if your applying the same use of the figures to the whole length of the car then your probably better off buying another shell.

ps. Give me a good enough reason and ill get them for you tomorrow.

This is not a smashed car. Just full of rust.. Im repairing some old welding in inner and outer sills.... I got this one door who wont fit excactly, no matter what im doing. Thats the reason why i m hunting for the measurements of the chassis... Yes a new shell will be the best, but is hard to find here.... Some pictures here .

I'll get you some later today.

1016mm - seam in the top of the front door jam (just below where the chrome mounts) to the top of the rear quarter closest to the window (where a b pillar would be)
1164mm - front part of the door jam at the top of the vertical bit to where the door catch mounts.
896mm - Bottom of rain gutter (closest to windscreen) straight down to sill

600mm - Center of Windscreen - top to bottom, measurement on the inner channel the screen sits in
550mm - Edge of windscreen, top to bottom, measured the outside of the channel.

note: These measurements are from the passenger side, so for us if your sitting in the car it is on the left side door.

Hopefully that makes sense, if not just let me know and ill get some pics of where i measured from
