I have completely stripped my Mini down to the shell, subframes, suspension and wheels and want to get to the next step and begin bodywork.
I'd like to raise the entire car up onto four mid-rise jack stands so I can easily remove the subframes. If you aren't putting stands underneath the subframes, where is the best point that won't put load on the floor panels? Mine already needs panelbeating from years of people putting stands under the floors.
Obviously the four points on the sills would be ideal, per the factory jack but I don't see a way that the flat jack stand could support the angled sill.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Best points to lift a Mini onto jack stands ?
