Is this chassis bent? Forum wisdom required!

On my Elan i have one side front shock top bolt that sticks through the body hole above it and the other side does not. On the Elan there were holes originally in the body. I know my chassis is straight but the body clearly is not so dont assume its a chassis problem versus a body problem.

Hi

Thank you. I feel better haha. I guess I should stop seeking perfection in symmetry. Although chassis geometrics need to be good.

Hi

Original chassis are well past their best now. I have had 4 original ones that were unusable either because of cracking, rust or both. In fact I have another one arriving on Thursday! I bought another car for restoration minus engine and gearbox. I was told it had a galvanised chassis, but sadly not true. I will be surprised if the original one is not scrap. I can hope haha.
