What you call a proper job:) Nice work mate! Although axle stands on the back aswell would have been safer;)

I know it was wrong just to have the jack under the back without axel stands but it was to save time and do it quickly.

I'm a little perplexed as to why you didn't just do one at a time safely.

I think you're off your head.

That looked about as bad as the exhaust being changed using a forklift.

Nowt wrong with that!

when I changed the shocks on my van I did the same as you but because its so low it was held up under the towbar! :D

Too far? no way

Used to do this regular on the 172 but after nearly 18 months of the 200 I still haven't got round to it, slacking tbh and it shows.

I know that having just the jack on the back was wrong and there should have been two axel stands also but for sheer quickness and time i took a chance / risk of just leaving the jack on the rear beam and giving the car a clean.

The wheels where fully cleaned and polished also before they where out back on, I never had time to polish the car but its going away for a full paint correcton soon enough.

f**k leaving it on a jack! Not for me!

As said above i know it was wrong but for the time i had to do everything it was worth it. The next time there will be 4 axel stands and 2 jacks as i want to get under the car and scrubb it.

Standard cleaning procedure :approve:

Decent

What's up with the exhaust? Sits well back from the bumper!

Yeah it sits well back, Been through this about 1000 times and its down to the engine mounts being moved so many times after the car having 4 timing belts in its life and 3 aux belt kits done. I have spoke to fred at BTM a couple of times and he has said that when i get my car down there he will line it all up and fix it.

You used urine to clean it? You Scots are weird.

Looks great!

I cleaned the seats with sh**e so it smells nice too LOL ;-)
