I don't know if anyone remembers, but in the summer I bought a single phase two poster ramp for my garage......and i've finally got my finger out and got it working.

I had no use for it when the car was running but now I am doing its winter modifications and the engine does need to come out. So pulled my finger out....finally.

Its going to make the after meeting spanner checks and wheel changes sooooo much easier. Im off out there now to carry on.

Also the bits and bobs above it could come out at a later date so that the car can go another 2ft or so higher, but to be honest its high enough at the mo. With another 2ft the wheels will be level with my head.

It should make things alot easier. Can't wait to get stuck in now. Just took all the wheels off and then noticed the time, so shut it up for the night. I got to be up early in the morning.

I bought it off of a mate who got it off of eBay. I payed under a grand for it.

Can't wait to get started on the car now. Although im starting to get requests for cars to go on. The first being my mates RWD Fiesta. Took it to Santapod today and something isn't right with the rear of it. Although the trip home was the Funniest trip i've had in a car for a long while.

Yup thats the one. Glad you didn't take any piccys of my repair on the front end. Had to some emergency surgery the night before :roll:

For some reason we seem to always be sorting out his cars just before an event. Thought it would be different with this one, but no he manages to break it the day before. Great little car though.
