December 19, 200520 yr Author I wasn't under it. I had it up on four blocks, and I just put new cv boots on the rear axles. I put the diff and axles in. I put the wheels on and was jacking it up to take the rear blocks out and it fell over. The front end, trans, and one of the axles caught it. They are all probably messed up.
December 19, 200520 yr oh man, that is terrible. its a shame because that car was in beautiful shape, glad to hear no one was hurt. are you gonna fix it?
December 19, 200520 yr Author The body didn't get damaged any except the front end. Hell yea i am gunna fix it. I can get a manual trans for $43.

December 19, 200520 yr Thats real sad. Thats the most sorry excuse for a rack I've ever seen. Jack stands dont cost all that much. You could have been hurt and you definatly hurt your car. Hope you learned a lesson :-\

Hope you learned a lesson :-\ Yea I learned a lesson, to keep my car off of crap i make myself. The front end is not as bad as it looks in the pic. I can fix it easy. Collision repair is the kind of work I am going into.
December 19, 200520 yr 2 words Jack Stands Your life is worth it. (In elementary school a classmates dad was crushed by the family car because he had it up in a similar position)
December 19, 200520 yr Im only a noobie but even I know that was an accident waiting to happen. Glad you wasnt hurt. Sad to see your car suffer though.

Hope you learned a lesson :-\ Yeah, what he said. That looks more like your were doing some medieval torture to your car, rather than working on it.

I've always felt I redeemed my life a bit when I offer something I did as a horrible example in warning to the next generation.
December 20, 200520 yr Author I have the car on the ground now, with JACK STANDS holding the front up. Now I just have to finish fixing it. Not sure what all of the damage is from the fall, it got dark.
