I finished my garage project about 6 months ago, and I've worked on all my cars on the 2-post except for the Targa. My 2-post lift front arms were too long to get to the lifting points behind the 993's front wheels. I finally tried reversing the car into position today, and it worked.

Now I can start using that case of Xenit I bought a while back...

Loved my 83 GTI, A2 88 GTI was good too. I like the mk1 madness ska reference, classic.

Thanks for the offer...the exterior is almost perfect, I need some interior bits to finish it, the interior lower windshield trim, and the plastic covers for both seat hinges in blue. It seems that most cars are missing the hinge covers, and to find windshield trim in new condition has been challenging as well. I just need to spend more time on VWVortex I guess.

Any time I see a Mk1 hot rod I think of this:

I seriously considered a R32 before buying my 993...... But I'm glad I chose the latter. Some day I hope to have both.

Anyway, nice lift! Your Seattle location is noted, as I'm in Mukilteo

Its 12 feet at the low side, going up to 15 feet at the peak. I can get my Eurovan Weekender on that 4 post lift and raise it up all the way. The ceiling height in the other half which you don't see in the picture is only 11 feet at the peak but is plenty for another 4 post lift for my other p-cars and lots of storage in the 4th bay.

Now that I know a 993 will fit on the lift, I'll have to schedule a DIY GTC. Of course with my limited 993 wrenching experience, we'll just be changing the oil or rotating tires...we would need MikeJ to come down for real work...

The only thing I don't have set-up yet are tools. My tool chest is still at my house, and I didn't get an air compressor yet.

Sorry, but I'm a MKII guy. Wish I had a 16V model back in 88. MKI is just too small....

Sorry, can't help with those bits. I used to race GTi's and have owned handfuls of A1 Rabbits/Sciroccos over the years but most of it went bye bye when I sold my last race 'Roc, all I have left are the fender and doors and odd engine bay parts.
I've been half heartedly been looking for a very early rabbit or scirocco to tinker with. I have an early original single headlight grill and the individual headlight trim rings that I've had for years and they yearn for a home

hey 4000 posts! I need a hobby
