Re: What new car lift?
You have 3 basic options 1) 2 Post Lift - Pretty good for working on just about everything that you need to do under a car, suspension, brakes, exhaust, welding etc. It will need to be anchored to the ground so your concrete slab needs to be strong enough (reinforced and at least 6 inches deep) and ...

Re: oil Additive
It's probably for limited slip diffs. Check out redline gear oil on their website. They have a comprehensive coverage tool that will show gear oil with the additive in place.

Re: Paint advice please
I'd recommend epoxy over etch. It sets up like rock and will be resistant to stone chips. You should probably go with a rubberized undercoat underneath the car for added protection.

Re: 3xpendables Garage Project.
You can't fit a 2 and 4 post lift in a 3 car garage. Start planning for a 50x40 steel building with double doors and 12 foot ceilings. Do it now so you don't waste money stepping up

Re: 3xpendables Garage Project.
Insulated door, garage heater. It's coming nicely. I'm not sure what part of the US you live but you'll out grow that space pretty soon.

Paris to London Rally
I'm thinking of putting one together in October. Spending too much time tinkering on them and not enough time driving

Re: Tyres
No that's insane. Once tires get over 6 years old, they're already breaking down. I've had tires lose belts and come apart even under 10 years.
Get new tires!

Re: Practical Classics April '87

My father is always on my case to get rid of them but push back. Someday, I'm going to ship a car (classic mini or old Land Rov...

Re: What kind of paint does a body shop use to paint a car?
