Last time I needed to do repairs under the rear of the car, I put it onto axle stands on the sills, but this didn't really get it high enough for comfort. So this time, I did it a little differently. I made a sturdy bracket which can be bolted in place of the rear bumper and then an engine crane used to lift the car. The bracket was a simple affair, made using 60x60x4 hollow square section tubing. It was welded together on the highest power setting of a 150A welder:
Meaty welds
This is it in action, with the axle, fuel tank and other parts removed
This is the area which needs a couple of repair sections
