FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention set relates to automotive industry. Installation is designed for assembling passenger compartment side panels of two different vehicle models. Two models of passenger compartment side panels have identical front part continued by rear part specific for each of these two models. The installation contains rotating platform, facilities for assembling front parts and two assembling stations for rear parts. The rotating platform locates horizontally and holds front parts of passenger compartment side panels.
