.............my chassis?

I have someone interested in my Cerbera (Hi Craig wavey) who has reasonably asked to see some photos of the (restored) chassis.

Here's the conundrum:

The car is currently SORN and sitting in the office at work (No, not literally in the centre of the office, in the secure area downstairs). I have no ramps or 2/4 post lift on site. I have a trolley jack, but am VERY reluctant to use it on the Cerb, even if it fits underneath.

I have good access all around the car and can extend a camera underneath the car, but can't see the viewfinder so it's a bit hit and miss.

Anyone any ideas?

Mirror on floor, illuminate the chassis with a bright torch and take snaps of the mirror image.

Big mirror on the floor and take photos close to the sills? You'll want plenty of light to do it, probably no good if you can't get it outside in the open air.


EDIT: That's what happens if you open a thread, sod off to do something else then come back to it! smile
