Thank you Sanny Claus! (pics)

Ole Kris Kringle loaded up a scissor-lift on his sled and dropped it off at my shop, so I thought I'd show a pic and since I've been remiss on posting a pic of my little plain-jane, I thought I'd include one of her too:



If I've done something stupid with putting the lift together, etc., please don't hesitate to say "hey knucklehead, it's upside down"...

Assembly posed some challenges (Bendpak)..."tighten the almost 1.25" Nyloc nuts with an adjustable wrench", and the pre-installed plug at the end of the hydraulic line dispensed about a gallon of ATF on the floor of the shop...small 'taters tho, overall.

Thanks to all of the folks that posted on the years-old threads concerning lifts/ramps.

And just for fun, I thought I'd include a pic for all those of you good folks that work in garages nicer than any room in my house to snicker at:




Sometimes, it even gets a little cluttered in there

This is a very clean looking white 911!

Nice targa! The seating for the peanut gallery and beer swillers in the garage is also killer!

Nesslar, I'm sorry I didn't see your message! PM sent

I guess I'm lucky I didn't get a shot that included the beer-can trash can...easy lob for emptys from the sofa or chairs

Thanks for the kind words...

I gotta admit, the access the lift provides is stupid nice...kinda blew the rebuild fund, but I'll find other things to tinker around on her until I can tackle that this spring.
