then it becomes the word of scrutineer and eligibilty officer if said "reshaping" has caused the panel to lose its integrity. then that the panel hasn't been modified. which think by heating and hammering it up has become a modification.

"Minor reshaping" is only allowed if required for clearance (and only enough to get that clearance, no more) to fit engines/gearboxes etc. If its just because you want a flat floor then its not allowed.Tow car/camping bus: 2011 D40 Navara ST
