Phew,
 
Thanks chris, worth taking into account. Does anyone know of a website
that shows the Delorean being worked on, pic by pic, if not I would be
happy to start one....

I would not advise using the anti roll bar mountings to hold the weight
of 
the car as this bolts on the crumple tube. You should jack the car up
from 
the front cross member behind the crumple tube using a trolley jack with
a 
rubber pad ( or 6 x 4 piece of wood  to spread the load and use
something to 
protect the frame ) and axle stands should be placed under the
reinforced 
jacking points located at the corner of the underbody where the doors
meet 
the front wing.

I have also heard of windscreen's cracking from being jacked up one
corner 
at a time as the underbody twists so its worth jacking from the center
to 
lift the entire front of the car when ever possible.

Regards

Chris
