About to break ground on a 48x24 3 bay with attached mudroom. Question on siding: my house has the original cedar planks from the 1930s. I've been told the new cedar is not properly dried and won't hold paint...I'll be repainting every 3 to 5 years. No thanks... Can anyone corroborate this...

Does anyone with a vw or 911 or 912 or other German air cooled thing have experience dropping a motor with the 4 post? Does it fit between the rails?

I can't even envision what youre describing, but it sounds like a horror show to me. This is a strong advertisement for a 2 post, or my original plan of a 4 post and a maxjax, or maybe a 4 post and an in ground scissor. Only issue with an in ground scissor is if I ever sell the place...would...

I'm considering the same lift. Any thoughts a month later?

Just looked at the price of those Mohawks...6k. Not happening for me. I'm leaning towards a 4 post. Right now, an HD 9 is the front runner.

No problem removing a body from a frame with Porsches - they are all unibody. Dropping the motor on the 911 is rare. I think with the 914 it will be more frequent. Plus, the lift will attract other neighborhood 911s like flies to sh**... That mohawk solution seems awesome. Has anyone...

Hm. Does anyone have a single post? Any pics of storing a car under a 2 post? Any issues unloading the suspension storing over the winter on a 2 post? Maybe I just take the wheels off...?

I'm not sure the pad will handle that kind of load. I'm trying to use 3000psi concrete to save a few bucks. Does the 2 post work for storage? I'd think that would be really annoying, always opening the door into one of the posts.

Hey all, I am building a new garage and need some advice. It will be a 3 bay. I'm limited to a 36 x 22 internal footprint. I'm in the Boston area if that matters. My goals are: In the summertime, park the wifes SUV, my 911, and a to-be-purchased (and restored) 914 in the garage. My DD is...

If you're planning on a lift, make sure the concrete pad they pour is rated for the lift you choose both in thickness and grade. Also, I'd recommend a separate 60 amp feed to a sub panel, dedicated to the garage. That way if your welder pops a breaker, you won't impact the dryer or stove (if...

Thanks... Just trying to figure out if I can get away with just cutting the valance, or if I'd need to cut the fender too. Sounds like I can get away with just cutting the valance. LOVE the fiske wheels btw...they're the only wheels I'd consider besides the stock Fuchs. Ok, hijack over!!

reviving this thread with an OT question... I also have an 84 911 and am looking to convert to a dual exhaust. Did you modify your rear valance yourself or did you purchase one? Also, did you have to modify the PS Rear fender, or was modifying the valance sufficient? Beautiful car. Love the...

Thinking about buying this lift, but the seller says he can't find a model number on it. He also claims 6000lb capacity and 48" lift (roughly) which is perfect for me. I'd go check it out but it's a 4 hour ride 1 way -- worth it if I'm gonna pick it up, not just to check it out though. Any...

Not to highjack my own thread... How do people unload these 1000 lb things? Do I have to find someone with a forklift? I have a 1000lb hydraulic lift table...but transferring it from my truck to the table seems challenging...

Re: Harbor Freight Scissor Lift...1 Phase or 2 Phase? Thanks Jack, I apologize for the confusion...I was taught by an old electrician who referred to 220v as two-phase, which is actually more correctly called "split phase," so-called because 2 legs are hot (as opposed to a normal 120v outlet...

Hi All, First post! What an awesome forum. I have an 84 911, I'll be removing the drivetrain this winter to repair the first and second gear synchros in the transaxle plus refresh some oil seals, and repair an oil cooler line and and and and.... A mid-rise scissor is the way to go for me, and...
