I think a lot of it has to do with the volume of auctions BaT does now. When there were maybe 15-20/day people spent more time going through all of them out of general interest, where now with 50/day you pretty well just focus on the stuff you care about and ignore the rest. I’m sure things

From my experience with moving sheet metal, the pucker in the floor from poor lift use, likely distorted the rocker, which could be the cause for the door gap issue. As Jamie stated... not an easy fix. in most cases, would require surgical removal of the floor, rocker and attaching parts, with
