We feel your pain!
I've ended up with a permanent scar on my hand from trying to undo a siezed brake line joint on my last project, so i know exactly what you're going through :(

Rear suspension bolt is now free!

15 minutes with a blow torch and then a scaffold pole on the end of the spanner. I think I nearly managed to lift the car before the bolt released.

Spannered knuckles is one thing, just wait until you start using the fibreglass. Now that's left me with sore hands.
