Just a little garage report>>>>>

We start to get rid of the old lift.



Mark up where the new will be.



There we have the new one.



Now I know what I have to do in the weekend.



So cutting the floor.



Out with the concrete.



Then dig a half meter and some new concrete.



So now we have to put in in place.





Yes, it looks great.





Up to the roof we go.



Damn it's high and it fits better than OJ's glove.



Now I have to do some electrical and hydraulic work.

Why did you have to cut the concrete if you just ended up filling it up like it was?


I figured it out.

I have to get the floor thicker to get the expander bolt works satisfactory.

Nice Two Post Lift.

My Dad owns about 12 of those in his shops...and about 20 Hunter full lifts.

I use the two post to clean the underside of my Corvettes.

Yes, I am that freakish about my cars.

A decent "amateur" lift can be had for about $2,000 - 2,500 plus installation.
