Garage Pics

[white_2kgt]

I realized that I never put up an pics of the garage, well here they are.

Before




After








Air compressor is in a little out building to the right of the last picture, electricity and air lines are burried. Air feed is on the left hand side of the lift (basically in the middle of the garage).

Racks are Gorilla brand from Sams Club (good stuff).

that's all,

haha, I have have one of the 'simpler' rear suspensions for a mustang

yes, having the lift makes working on the pile actually 'fun' well sometimes. Last night I was about to melt a 10lb piece of metal into a tight little ball, I'll post more on that probably this weekend...

I'm curious (as are a lot of folks I think) about how much you paid for the lift, and how you went about getting it from a Honda dealership (ie - they probably didn't have the lift sitting out by the road with a "For Sale" sign on it...) PM me if you'd rather not say anything about $$$ in the public forum...

pfsha. I don't care. I paied almost $2000 installed. The lift was around 1500 then around 400 for delivery and install. No, it wasn't just laying on the side of the road w/ a for sale sign on it . I purchased it from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bandrassociates.com/">http://www.bandrassociates.com/</a><!-- m --> They are a company in Gaithersbug, MD that specializes in garage's. Insustry mostly, but they will do a home garage, $$$ though. Basically the Honda dealer in NOVA was moving to a bigger shop and they were getting all new lifts. So B&R comes in, buys the olds ones from them, sells them new lifts and in turn sells the used lifts to car freaks like ourselves and shops that are just getting off the ground. Lead time was about 4 months, but that worked out great for me b/c I paid 1/2 the cost of the lift, the day we closed on the house, the previous owners had a rent back for a few months, then by the time we were ready to move in they had my lift ready to go and I paid for the rest of it on delivery.

Probably the easiest $2,000 I have ever spent. 2 mexicans came with it on the back of a pickup, unloaded it and had it installed in under 3 hrs.
