A vehicle cell with side walls that consist of a plurality of wall segments,that are joined together laterally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle has door openings to make possible an advantageous construction concept that employs simple means, wherein the side wall segments,that are adjacent to one another laterally have, in the vicinity of their facing vertical lateral edges,door partial cutouts,which, when the segments are combined with one another, form a full-width door.

Vehicle cell

A process for repairing a framework (,) composed of profile members, in particular for repairing the body structure of a vehicle in which a damaged subassembly (,) composed of several profile members (,) is removed by cutting through the profile members at locations which are still undamaged and replaced by a corresponding replacement subassembly (,E). For flush fitting of the replacement subassembly against the free ends of the cut profile members of the framework (,), a fitting case (,) is slidably inserted into the end of the respective profile members of the replacement subassembly or of the profile members of the framework. After positioning the replacement assembly the fitting cases are slidably displaced such that they extend partially into the abutting ends of the profile members. The profile members are then permanently secured to the fitting cases.
