EXAMPLES OF CRUSHED CAR REPAIR : Determining Damage Using Measuring Equipment

To determine the repair method and provide efficient control of parts ordering, the parts were classified into two groups of panel components and functional parts.

(1) MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE ACCORDING TO DIMENSIONAL DRAWING DATA.

A convex rule (steel tape) and tram tracking gauge were used to measure the engine compartment and body side dimensions. The universal measuring equipment was used for three-dimensional measurement of the underbody. Measurements will be shown in the Body Repair Manual for each model.
