Later this year I would like to replace all my shocks and refurbish the suspension.

I have built a caterham, however being so light I built wooden trestles for it to sit on -

I was looking at a mobile scissor lift/tilting(1500kg)has any one tried this solution

The other solution is www.restorationramps.co.uk which is lovely but all the money

Open to suggestions

Thanks

Do you have the clearance in terms of hight for a two post car lift? It would give you far more access to the car e.g. suspension, exhaust, chassis etc. They are on ebay for £1,100 or you could wait for a second hand one to come up. There is currently a used 3.5 ton lift at £350 no reserve.

If you've got that sort of space you're a very lucky man. I would go the whole nine yards smile

I only have 8ft height (plenty of width) and whilst the concrete base was laid by me, I only have 12 inches of concrete base and not sure if this is deep enough for a two post ramp -

I agree it would be perfect to have a two post ramp

there was a company offering a low (isn) 2 post ramp for about 1100 on ebay, it needed 6 inches concrete base.....

still too tall for me though...
