There is a lot of worrying on this forum. Have a it'll be okay.

Could you take good photos of the underfloor front-to-back and post them? Perhaps a series of slightly overlapping (20%) photos taken along the longitudinal axis with the lens pointing straight up (the camera flat on the floor, aligned with the car's axis). We could then put together a pano view. That would be wonderful.

Very nice! The pic with the mkI and the mkII in black is great. The support is fine for what you are using it for. I'm sure you already know this given the tires and tools etc in the garage, but you don't want to store the car 'longer term' on a two post as the suspension is unsupported and tends to stretch/hang/droop and can rust. What type of space heater do you have mounted in there?

Very nice. I've been considering a lift for years, but have had trouble finding an installer. Are you in the KC area? How did you find your installer?

ADias will do. Currently my M3 is up on it, but will get to it in the next day or two.

Dayton. Its a 220V heater, I have a pair of them in a 1000sqft gar w/ a T-stat set to 55 unless I am in there working when I set it at 70. Absolutely key if you spend anytime working in the garage in the winter.

Your buddy is a very bad influence. You make us all jealous.

ADias. I tried several ways of doing this & need to rethink the lighting. I tried w/ and w/o the flash & didnt work so well. I am going to wait for a really sunny day out or get some serious lights on the bottom of the car.

Anyway here's the best I could get today.
