Good lad! It's like I said when I got to yours, only petrolheads spend the first day of a holiday playing around with old cars

Nice one Joe though, I don't know how you can work on that surface though, I still remember trying to remove that Powerflow exhaust off your old Diablo DT back in the day!!! Knackered my back!
How did you find the driveshafts etc? I need to take a look at mine, and I'm planning on getting the old Baker Group N lower mount on whilst I'm down there... Not looking forward to it massively though!!
Good luck with the MOT!

it's an absolute bastard, nothing wrong with lying on it got an estate boot mat for that, its the fact it took me about 30 minutes to get my car on axle stands due to the ground not being stable enough for me to be happy with it.
both axle stands have wooden feet to spread their load and the jack has to have a piece of ply to sit on, so it can roll. Got plans to put a concrete base in and a lean to over the top.
drive shaft I just had to replace the boot, so split the shaft, grease it up put it back together, not a hard job and saved buying a new one for the sake of some rubber.
cheers MOT will fail though!

Edited for you  haha we where thinking of digging a pit in that wouldn't be hard at all, a lot more work though so more likely to fail, and more expensive, it will happen though!!

I see the word scrap and feel obliged to post.....
Looking good mate, that is dedication! I know the pain about axle stands, have the same ground at my site and trying to jack the car up to take a wheel of fans the whole car decides to go.
