How to raise the car really high
Meaty welds
This is it in action, with the axle, fuel tank and other parts removed
This is the area which needs a couple of repair sections

very cool. i'd be tempted to make legs that can be fitted so you don't have to leave it on the engine host. something that maybe goes on though hole then has a pin that stops it from coming out. (i'll draw you a picture if it helps)
Yeah did think about that, but I don't need the crane for anything else so it may as well stay there. The axle stands in the pics aren't touching the car or taking any weight, they're simply there in case something funny happens, otherwise I'd be dead!

Are you going to enter the Dragons Den?

I'm quite looking forwards to tomorrow's task of refitting the fuel tank, suspension, exhaust and a bunch of other little parts. It shoule make things nice and controllable being able to independently raise and lower the suspension beam into place and the car body itself. The fuel tank is quite light and not too hard to just chuck on, the exhaust should be okay because I can raise the car really high again and do it comfortably.

Thinking about it that way it wouldn't even need welding - it could just be drilled and bolted.
