Is your garage floor level? If so it looks like you have a twisted chassis or something as there is daylight between the axle stand & the sill.
Not a problem as you don't want the chassis but be sure to loosen all the ppf & subframe bolts to re-align when you get your chassis.
Also be careful when putting force on the car and taking bits off, sudden tipping, even an inch or so, can then destabilise the whole thing. Take it from someone who had a narrow escape with a Focus donor doing something similar...

gwnwar, its a LNC, prev owner claims to have updated but I was not able verify visually so took his words for it. I'll be doing the CAS O ring this week. Looks to be a quick / cheap fix so fingers crossed it stops that leak. mawdo, very good eye. That was the first thing I noticed too when I got it up on stands. I immediate checked under the chassis for any sign of an accident / twisted frame metal / ect. None. Then I noticed that I had 1 jack stand that was shorter than the other 3. Strange because its the same style and brand but just bought at different time. I swapped it out and its now sitting evenly on stands.

Phocup.. Way to tell crank.. SNC crank pulley has 4 slots in the face.. LNC has 8 slots in face.. Remember to mark the CAS to head before turning/removing it. So you have a good timing starting point when ready to start engine.. Use a center punch of chisel.. mark will not rub off.. You can see the offset of the CAS drive and rear of cam with the cam cover off makes it easier..If removing cam cover don't forget to put sealant at the corners of the front and rear cam towers to head before installing gasket to make a good seal..
