I am wondering what all of you who don't have a lift do.

"Put hooks (I bent 2 long 5/16 bolts) into the bolt holes in the brackets for the seat tilt adjuster in the middle of the car."
Chris, bent bolts hold well enough? Anyone have a pic of this method? I was planning to get my car onto my rotisserie using jacks and wood blocks, but lost my nerve. This is getting way to precarious and I still have a ways to go:  I'm picking up a 2-ton hoist this week that I've been thinking about buying anyway. Lifting the whole car with the hoist is much more appealing that lifting one end, since then I don't have to worry about whatever is holding the other end slipping. I figured I'd have to find 4 points to strap te hoist, but if the seat bracket holes can work, great. |
