My car fell of the axle stands

Had just fitted my new springs, was lowering the rear beam back down, and bang

Put a big dent in the fuel tank, and a dent on the sill, not too bad considering.

Nope, was too panicky, straight into the boot to get the wee car jack, as it was too low to get my proper car jack underneath is

Sitting atm with one steelie, and a load of wood supporting the other side, and the pair of jacks

Ouch

I was quite lucky with mine tbh, though the sill i going to start to rust, i can tell, going to patch in now, rather than sort a whole rusty sill in a years time.

Dont think a dent in the tank will matter?

Hence why we put blocks of wood under the car as well as the jack.
