Just for reference .. this was the space on the day I saw it A few things I did to help make it work: 1. Wooden ramp and floor built around lifts to make them "flush" as 100 Yr old floors only 100mm / 3in thick so couldn't chop into them (we on ground and basement below) 2. Amazing lifts on...

Posting this here as I can pretty much credit GJ and members and their threads for helping ALOT in the beginning of this journey .. Working at home (see this thread) lead to 1 and then by word of mouth more clients (all aircooled) and then a referal to some retiring shops (owners getting older...

Just bought one out ... not a week after I finally pulled the trigger on the mwakee

lol thanks Monty ... good taste in cars is a prerequiste for membership here #;-) but as I said .. "I wish ... floors look similar though so I have hope this photo {of the GT1 evo} was taken in the future and mailed back in time."

found an old table and had some hinges welded on .. then mounted to the wall quite happy with it .. it's level and strong and not too bulky for the narrow space. Legs fold underneath and use a magnet to hold them up as fold away .. heavy ****** tho early morning coffees this am as black...

lol .. its warming up here now (southern hemi) .. that's from the aircon - thanks!

finally got the lift working! First test case - lightest car ;) uh oh! now what!? ;)

got the lift painted and the new (much bigger, slightly noisier and slower) single phase motor fitted - 2.2kw vs the 3phase 3kw. Best option for me as it is not a pro garage and it was 40% of the price of the VSD and it included the services of a nice old dutch (ret) engineer who did all the...

Thanks guy .. no space for the vinyl! but an ipod would def help things. Very kind of you to help out (again) with the 993 - thanks and come visit next time you're riding the Cape Epic. Here she is getting new fuel pump and christening my floors with their first spill - 'some' petrol during...

got the posts up! almost there .... just waiting for the lift-tech to fit chain and safety cable next week ... will sand and paint tomorrow (posts got a bit beaten up on a cramped building site for 3 mos - glad to have the workshop floor back!) A friend popped in to 'help me' check spacing...

welcome to the club!

Cheers Taffy! I actually did convince her to switch the cabrio for the Abarth Coupe (before the cab Abarth came out) .... not sure exactly how but I think the deal meant I had to give up my proper Subaru 4x4 (and school run car) for the Audi Q3.... swings and roundabouts!

thanks dubber ... here's a new one .. got the wheel rack up at last

wow that paint made a huge difference ... looking forward to more GT4 ;)

still setting up .. seems the last 10% takes a while! Glad that the natural opening from the old carriage house doors suits my 2 sets of semi's ... 1 set well used 17s the other 18in BBS (Gold baby!) which will fit one day once some flaring done :thumbsup: A bit of grinding and painting after...
