Oh Boy Having a Lift is Nice!!

Changed the PCS Solenoid in Mrs. M's car this weekend. Had to lower the engine cradle to gain access to the valve body cover. This would have been pain to do on the ground!

Its good to have a beefy one just in case I buy a space shuttle some day

You can never have too many space shuttles!

 

[wornoutoldman]

It's not like we are using those shuttles anymore...

Nice looking shop. Looks professional!

That engine cradle will come in handy if you ever have to bang the Space Shuttle's wife.

It had to be said.

Changed the guibo* on the yellow car Saturday.

Piece of cake with the lift.

*I just love saying guibo.

Should've gotten a 3800 breh

I agree. Jobs that I dreaded before I got my Ammco 10k pound two-post lift are almost enjoyable now, almost.

Great job and great job on the shop. I just read through your shop buildup.

Nice 75-76 Golf!

I had a 72 Golf.

BTW... Golf is green, not yellow.

What kind of cabinets are those? They look like Ikea floorstanding cabs with grey doors, but I don't think they look quite like those?

Nice lift!

Nice lift!

Here are some better shots of the cabinets. They are a craigs list find. they came out of a fairly new commercial building that was changing tenants. The cabinets were $150, I had to build the bases and counter top.

I bought it online form Quality Tools & Equipment mostly because they were cheapest. I think they order it and Bend Pak ships it directly. It was $2600. I bought it in 2009.
