You could try holding the camera the other way up.
I was also going to suggest a flatter garage but no need.
This way does make lowering the diif onto the chassis easier.

Seriously the pictures are the same way up as they were in the files you uploaded. If they are upside down on your pc you have to rotate them then save them then upload them. Nought you can do once uploaded

I get the same upside down or rotated 90dg image issues - but notice how if you click the images and look at the fullsize versions they are the right way up... Admin sort it! :D
