Hey guys...
Got my lift home on Saturday, but it's going to take me a few days to get it set up.

I raised my garage door opener up to gain a foot of lift height,
but still have some work to do.....
- need to wire it up to a 40a cct (good thing the panel is right there)
- need to pick up hydraulic fluid. (doesn't come with)
- have to put some planks down for clearance.
not sure exactly how I want to do that part yet.

Anyone thinking of one of these you definitely need to plan on how you're going to off-load 1,000 lbs.
I was fortunate to have enough height to rig a chain fall to hoist it off of my truck.



...more later

 

^^it will be sooooo handy when this garage mod is complete.

 

I have to get my azz in gear with it so that the car is back together for Sunday.

 

Okay come clean on the whole mod......

 

Nah... it's not like that.
I have the exhaust off of the car.
The ceramic coating was coming off inside the tips, they had to re-do them.
I just got them back.

...the only car mod in the works is the same one as you.

 

Would that be the strut bars? Or do you two have some others on the go

 

Yep... that's it.
Deane & I got in on a good group buy.

 

^^ man, BMW makes a TIDY engine bay!

 

Those strut bars look awesome, must really tighten up the front end.

 

Good luck with the redo on the tips.

 

Can't hurt. These cars are pretty stiff now though. The bars are being made as we write. There were 20+ people on the GB and we're not sure of when they'll be ready but think it should only be a few more weeks.

I also have to get my stainless brake lines on.

 

Probably just in time to put the car away.

 

yep, that's my bet. Canadians will probably be last

 

Ian, don't forget to post a few pics once you get that lift in working order

 

will do
