OK, I have now finished the rear clip and I have also done the pre-fit of the fuel system plumbing in the engine bay...

..I am now ready to start on the front, and I want to put the front on the stands that I am currently using for the rear.

I am trying to decide whether to put the rear clip back on the car (will it just sit there, or do I have to screw the bolts back in ?) or maybe sling it from the rafters in my garage (it's quite deep, isn't it) or maybe make a stand for it to be upright (takes up a fair bit of room)

Any pearls of wisdom or innovative ideas are welcome.
Thnaks very much,

Regards
Kelvin

If you have a wall spare, then a couple of really strong brackets joined by a piece of 2-be-2-be-4-be will support the rear clip just under the reinforced cross member so that it hangs upside down and to facing out. If you need a pic let me know.

Yes - I see what you mean Peter - thanks - that's a good idea.
