Lifting your car

[davidimurray]

Now this is going to sound really stupid - but for the past few weeks I've had the car up on trestles while doing all the panneling and fitting. It's great working at this height so I'm contemplating lifting the engine it from the bottom while chassis is on the trestles. It would be nice then to not have to take the engine out wehn I lower the car onto the ground/axle stands.

I'm thinking I could just lift the engine as normal with the lifting brackets to lift the whole front end of the chassis inc engine up and get a couple of mates to pick the rear up while I lower. Is this a crazy suggestion? Any reason why I shouldn't do it?
