Title: Relocated the lift today
Post by: jamesearthdrum on September 15, 2013, 06:10:37 PM
Hi Folks,
          Since I have lost my work space at my place of employment, this is where the lift ended up. Give a Mid-Western boy some heavy timber and watch what happens.

Sorry about the shaky image.

Once the bike is in the lift and the lift is raised, can you move the car ramps out of the way so you have a level surface to stand or do you just move the lift?

That's a lot newer Beetle than the one you had, right?   

Didn't the other one burn up?         :scratch_one-s_head:

I was planning on just standing on the car ramps. They are 15" wide so should be to bad. We'll see how it goes.

Yes that's the '74. It's the winter car. We still have the '62 that we full restored.
So wait.... if the '62 is in the garage all winter, when am I going to work on the bike!  :dash2:
