ive tried axel stands on the sills before and bent the sills - not happy about that!!

basically im thinking about what i might like to do with the car over the course of the next year. after originally saying i wouldnt im going to modify it now. not heavily, just the exhaust and coilover route. ive seen that the exhaust is tricky to get off and id quite like to do a full refurb on the rear beam - so thats 2 birds with 1 stone. if im taking the beam apart then id do the bushes at the same time, 3 birds. and put it all back together with new coilovers, 4 birds.

things is though, i dont want to be bodging things and certainly dont want to be breaking, cutting or snapping things to do it. if its just nuts and bolts i could probably manage but if its more complicated then probably not. the chap at the garage said he'd help with bushes and stuff if i can get the beam off.
