definately whip the seat out chuck a big plank of wood in there so you dont fudge your back on the cross member and spraul yourself all over the floor =) that's my approved method.

I use an old rear seat base as it flexes over the crossmember and has plenty of padding.Comes in handy for a load of other jobs as well.As long as its one your not bothered about as the cardboard bends straight away on the back.

OK so got the damn thing out this afternoon. My next rant is why on earth put the bolts that hold the doors on in the wheel arches?!!! BEcause there not gonna get rusty up there are they?!!! GRRRRR So the one at the top for the passengers door is seized, so how do i get it off??(Bar taking the wing off and getting something on the nut?)

I got the drivers door off after a lot of hassle, but the one on the passengers door, right at the top is just proper tight, and im starting to round the nut of now?!
