 Hi Jaron,
   If using a trolley jack I would come in from the front of the car and go under the front suspension, leaving enough room to get the wheel on/off. If using a standard style jack it actually fits where the body work and underside come together. your photo actually shows the slot where the jack locks into place. But it all depends on what style of jack you have.

If you have the jack I'm thinking of it's the check out on the top left of your photo.  Barry

Sorry Jaron,
                    Just read your other post listing your car for sale. Your not giving yourself much time to enjoy the Pony experience.

Jaron

I wouldn't use the standard mustang jack as they are notorius not being able to give enough clearance for the tyre to be taken off or put on.

I would use a trolley jack under the cross member beneath the sump and place a trye under the side your are working just in case something happens.

hello.
yeah barry, i can already say the longer its in my eyesight, the more i wanna keep it. She sur is beautiful. It is a dream but i do have my father on my back because he does want it lying there too long. We are doing something in the garage so it cannot go in there atm. And to be honest i am sad on giving it away, as it has always been my dream, maybe just too early for me to get one.
I did end up jacking the car up. I used the original jack and it was perfect, it did give enough clearance.
yeah that tires under the car is a good idea.
thanx mate.
