Anyone able to measure the overall length of their car without bumpers? I'm trying to find out if I can fit my '73 1.7 into the freight elevator at my workshop, so I can do the restoration in a nice, large heated area.
I think I saw somewhere that the overall length with bumpers (depending if you have the tits or not) is around 159 1/2". My freight elevator has a depth in the mid-high 140's, so i'm just thinking I might be able to take off the bumpers to shoe-horn it in. Yet again another drawback of having a manufacturing business on the 3rd floor... |

QUOTE(Woody @ Dec 16 2012, 09:52 AM)  this did cross my mind... but it would have to go sideways and at an angle. as in, I'd have to make a tilting rack to mount it to, tip it onto one of it's doors, and then wheel it into place. It just so happens I made a tilting table a while back for a large conference table see photo, and I really did think about beefing it up to hold the teener...  |
