Fair play to you, if I'm honest, this is the worst job I have ever done, but then again, I did go to town with it.
I removed the fuel tank, side skirts, front and rear suspension, wheel arch liners etc. I gave everything a good clean beforehand, any dodgy areas were rubbed right back and rust converted, covered with a couple of coats of red oxide primer, then undersealed with Hammerite Underbody Sealant.
All box section grommets were removed and I pumped in some Dynax S50 with a long lance - this was inside all of the sills and other box sections around the car.
But answering your question, it would be difficult to do it without a ramp. I done mine raised right up on axle stands and properly supported and it was quite difficult, a pit would have been ideal, but a garage ramp would have been better. It's a dismal job, but once it's done properly at least you know it's been done! And one last bit of advice, where some old clothes then throw them away!
