First time I've worked on the car without getting a bad back.

I'd have to have a bit of a chuckle if the fork lift broke down while it was up there hehe

Get it back up on the pallets and clean the underneath, all that salty muck and flakey powder coat is making me sad inside. The same way angels are sad when babies are ill.

That's the next job on the list. Didn't look too bad under there, but could do with a bit of TLC.

Anyone who thinks it looks dodgy, that's exactly how Arch lifted mine to do my lowered floor smile

Used to lift my cars like this to wash under them - would not want to work on them on an FLT.. if a hose fails there is nothing to stop it coming down...
Also, not that well balanced - my power washer used to get it swaying sometimes!!

Pallets are a good idea... but now I have a pit.... but no Caterham.... hm...

Because whats holding it up in the air is pretty much, a rubber O-ring. Thats why not!

Ordered some chassis paint the other day - POR15 plus a degreaser and a UV stable coating ready to do mine in a few weeks time when I find time! I've also a few wire cup brushes ready to help me attack it all. Not really looking forward to it but I have managed to source a hoist so I'm not lying on my back painting inches from my face.

One of the many items in the huge growing pile next to me waiting to go onto the car over the winter time.
