Los Angeles area DIY work

Hey all! First time poster -- love the community here, and I've been lurking a long time before pulling the trigger. I've recently acquired a 1987 911 3.2 Carrera, and have been lucky enough to be able to order a SCART Riva exhaust from the good people in France. I've worked on cars a lot in the past (my dad is a mechanic and insisted on me learning by way of changing a clutch on my very first car, a Peugeot 406, and have done a lot of stuff since then), but I can't find anywhere reasonable to work on my car and get the exhaust installed. Does anyone in the greater LA area have a lift I can come by and do some work and get the exhaust installed?

I've used UR Dream Garage twice --- both time to work on my Prius. They had a location in Irwindale, but now closed permanently. I was pleased with the experience.

New location in Fullerton:

Good luck, and post your results w fotos of new exhaust!

On 3.2, everything around exhaust is exposed and you'd get your work done in a place with floor jack and jack stands before you find any DIY space for rent. Access to lift of course is nice but not always necessary.

Congrats on your purchase and good luck!
