It has been a long time since posting anything here. Work on the garage/shed consisted of only installing temporary walls and a roof to provide shelter for projects as I am finally moving forward on an actual garage build! I broke ground on the new garage in October of 2022 and was able to get...

Not really a garage update but did some work out of it. Pulled a popped motor from a parts Passat I have had for a while. It will be an engine parts donner for someone doing a diesel swap into an audi a90. Got to use the engine hoist for the first time in over a year. Felt good. Found some...

Congratulations on the engagement. Those wheels are looking fresh. I need to do something similar to my wheels but will be sanding down the clear on the machined face and polishing. Looks like a pretty good polishing kit. Might have to give that a try. Sent from my LM-G850 using Tapatalk

Thanks! It has definitely been nice having a little space for some projects. Hopefully I can get it move into a more convenient location. The nice thing about it being smallish is that is should be easier to move... Hopefully haha Sent from my LM-G850 using Tapatalk

Finally got a new door in the garage! Hopefully I can make some serious progress on "stage 1" this year. The town has indicated that they will allow me to move the garage without needing a full blown building permit, just a development permit, requiring no building inspections. The only catch is...

Hi JustRV, I haven't been able to find much on the electrical side of things for these older lifts. It looks like Hofmann still lists the GE2500 on their site. Have you tried contacting them to see if they have the old manual? Panzitta Sales also knew a little about these old lifts like mine...

How big is the space you are working with? Sent from my LM-G850 using Tapatalk

Been there, done that! Definitely painful. Sent from my LM-G850 using Tapatalk

Welcome! Always good to see new members. Excited to see the progress on your conversion. Subscribed!

Djbmw, thanks for the link to the spare parts. That will definitely come in handy. Yes the lift was left out in the elements for nearly 1 year. Hopefully I can bring it back from the dead. I'm planning to strip everything back and visual dye penatrent check all of it.

Got a chance to get a closer look at the lift nut and safety nut. Looks like there is still a good gap between them but I need to find out what the spec on this should be. The lift screws turn freely with a little sea foam on them and the lift nuts and carriages travel freely along them when...

I just stumbled across this thread after searching for information on an old Duolift >S< I have. It needs a lot of work but trying to find as much information as I can. Has anyone tried machining new lift nuts for these. From what I can tell I think mine is a Duolift VS 300/320. I found a parts...

Picked up a replacement motor and control box from a similar old Stenhoj lift. 5hp 220v single phase. Should do the trick. Also got the arms for the adjustable pads as they should fit. While I was loading these into the car he asked me if I wanted an old drill press he was throwing out for...

After much searching and comparing pictures on Google I appear to have a Hofmann Duolift VS 300/320. I think. In an attempt to find more information on this lift I though maybe someone here might know about these older 2 post lifts or maybe even have one that they still use. Now that I think I...

I haven't posted here in a while but made a little progress. Finally got the second half of the roof done. A bit of paint on the front of it too. Just need to get the other 3 sides now. Still needs lots of work. Got the back yard leveled and some grass growing now. Temporary shelter off the back...
