Displaying ********

[ian parker]

Need to start to think of how best to display the car, what i mean is, i,d like to lift the car off the ground and support it somehow, Any ideas would be appreciated. I quite like the idea of four stands for the wheel studs to sit into, what do you think ?? any pics ??:)

[paul spence]

the best and safest way Ian is 4 ramps mate,over the years ive seen sum horrows in concourse,cars falling of stands etc

[ian parker]

Paul, thanks, so just four small ramps ? painted ? dare i say..... Tu.. No, surely not, pmsl

[paul spence]

PMSL, ive seen them made off all kinds,ally,wood,the best ones ive seen were n/day on a s1 i think,made from clear perspex and the wheel sat in them (half moon with flat bottom).

pimp that ride, get a lurverly pump up suspension kit on there, you were going to enter it in modified concourse weren't you:D

Agree with Spence on this one, ramps are the safest, a gust of wind or whatever and that's yer lot:(

You could always Google "plastics fabrication" and contact a couple of firms;)

Why not go for something really new, innovative and ambitious like a motorised roll over jig, or a hydraulic lift that would lift the front end up 90 degrees.

Make the displaying as eyecatching as the motor!

i could do you some marble or granite pillars to put under the jacking points ;)

seriously tho, just some simple block stands would do the trick
