Not exactly a major renovation, but here is a before and after view of my garage:

Before:


After:


Ready for winter...... and my wife can park in the garage once more

 

Youve got a lift in your garage,how cools that!

 

Lifts are great aren't they, makes changing that clutch so, so easy. Being one that started out with VW's then graduating to 911's I know the benefits of having a lift and don't thing I could ever live without one. Looks good Jon.

 

Looks awesome!

How much did that run?
How close is the door when open to the windshield on the 964?

 

very nice - this will be a must in my next house (2 of them)

 

The door and door opener arm are close, a couple of feet. I am going to remove the shelves behind the lift to allow me to move it in another 2.5 feet or so.

Here is a picture with the door up:

 

excellent setup! That's just what I've been planning on doing. If you don't mind,
what is the make / manufacturer of the lift?

 

It is a Team Lift, SS7000 with a 220 Pump. I got it through American Automotive Equipment. Here is their url American Automotive Equipment . They also sell on E-Bay.

 

Better not have any oil leaks or this arrangement gives a reason for keeping the undertray mounted. You don't want to mess up your wife's paint job, eehhh...

 

john - do you know how high the ceiling is in your garage?

 

Johan, I have 3 drip trays for the lift on the way.

Dan, my ceiling is 11 feet.

 

John:
I noted that you raised the door opener up closer to the ceiling. Where did you get the extension form the door opener drive to the door itself? It looks a few feet long.

Great idea. I have a similar set up and I always thought I was going to have to also raise the door rails. Apparently not, it does look tight though.
Congratulations, job well done.

 

Dave,

I did have the door rails raised, you can sort of see it in the open door picture. I also had a 10 foot door opener installed, which included the extended arm for the door. Basically it is four pieces bolted together.

 

Nice, You will have a lot of fun with that. Now you can start working for others and eardn mony to service your car....... wife more happy then...........

 

John, the project looks great! I know you were looking forward to this. You've inspired me to get a tape out for my garage to see if this will work.

How long does it take to raise/lower the car on the lift? (You can see where my evil mind is headed, I think!)
