Hi all,

I am looking forward to getting a new house with a massive double garage. Therefore after years of scrabbling around on the floor I am going to treat myself to a lift. The reason for the question is that my two toys (the Griff and Lotus Europa) both have backbone chassis. I would really like to be able to store the cars one above the other over the winter to free up some room and I would also like to be able to use the lift to remove the body from the lotus for a re-build. I guess really my questions boil down to:

How can you lift a car with a backbone chassis on a two post lift?
How do you lift the wheels on a four post lift?
If I went 4 post, how could I lift the body off the lotus?

Thanks in advance, I hope everyone is out enjoying the sun

Mark
