Getting Your escort on its side?
Whats the best way to do this? i what to flip it on its side without damaging the pannels so i can paint the underside.
Take it the doors, boot and bonnet need to be off to make it as light as possible (everything is striped out just the above what are left on my car)
do windows need to be taken out too??
thanks matty

i got a mate who just jacks the car up with a lorry jack,
it goes right up and nearly over, then props it up with the biggest sleeper
i have ever seen,looks dodgy but its never let him down.
have done it with a matteress and racing slicks on a mk2 escort but
it dented the immaculate rear qtrs so i wouldn't do that
it goes right up and nearly over, then props it up with the biggest sleeper

Its worth £400 to do the job imo, then you can always sell it and get maybe half your money back.
Id still cack myself using the proper thing, especially looking at some of those pics in the link.

Done it yesterday, simple enough. 3 tyres under the sill, 2 of us grabbed a wheelarch each and lifted it over. Took about 5 minutes all in including moving the car to where we wanted it.
The engine hoist hooks are wrapped round the door bars just incase but its not going anywhere

I was gna say surely be easier to take it to a garage and slip em £100 for use of there ramps...
but being it just a shell and not rolling, be quite a job.
I wouldnt want the task myself i know that.
