I left my M3 out front of my house for a week on blocks. Must have been the talk of the town.....I was chatting with someone and they said "wait, you own that BMW that is on blocks down the street?" hahaha

Problem is, what if you need to work on two cars at once? You need two two posts!

The GTI in the background is on blocks, though.

"FishCop" did this with his 911. He has a thread in the 9111 forum.

Changing engine, so front valance lower lip is 25.5" off the ground to enable replacement engine to just slide in already mounted on cross member( remove dipstick and oil filler cap to save that extra half inch).
Engine now in and all mchanically hooked up but now have to remember how the heck to connect up all the electrics, fuel system, vacuum pipes; this after 12 months delay due lack of time and some ill health.

Yes, Fishcop was my inspiration for this and I contributed to his thread above. It works well and was inexpensive to build.
