New toy for the Mustang PICS ADDED
Bought a four post lift and installed it today in the garage. Will get some pics of my baby sitting high tomorrow, it's was getting dark by the time we'd finished and it was a hard slog getting it in, especially as we had to re-jig the garage door runners to give more headroom.
Also stuck a WebCam in the garage so I can see all is well [or not] when I'm not around. Feed is available from my website front door although there's not much to see after 8pm when the Sun is down [8D]
Now, what project can I use it for over the Winter whilst she's off the road ? Hmmmmmmmmmm

No, not hard at all. Just heavy. Weight of the lift is 1650lbs [&:] Will defo get some pics up, it's pretty cool and so handy. I've already seen dirt on the bottom of the rocker panels, that'll be the first thing to get sorted then I'll work inwards on the undercarraige cleaning and greasing as I go.
Also found out what the burning smell I've been niffing is all about,I snagged a plastic bag on a CAT, it's all burnt and nasty [:@]

RE: New toy for the Mustang
I went to a car show this past weekend and there were like 5 guys there selling exactly the same lift even though they spent most of their time talking down the opposition's lifts. Honestly, it was retarded. Prices ranged from $2195+tax to $3295+ tax both plus delivery which also ranged from $150 to $500 !!!! (Canadian)
Needless to say I bought the $2195 one which with tax was like $2550and slipped the guy $200 cash to deliver it

RE: New toy for the Mustang
Congratulations, I've been wanting one of those 4 post lists for my garage so I can keep a second car underneath my mustang. Unfortunately the rafters on the garage are too low. I'd have to get rid of the rafters and install joists up higher.
Now that you have the lift, I'd go for a one piece Drive shaft.
