My garage is on the smaller side (17′ deep * 18′ wide) for this kind of project. So I’ve been working on getting it cleaned up to have enough space to start working on pulling the engine and transmission. I’ve got everything on wheels to be able to move it around.
I worked out exactly how much my Quickjack moves the car fowards/backwards while it lifts it (roughly 11.5″). I worked out that if I parked the car rear in roughly a foot from the wall I could put it up on the Quickjack and leave the maximum amount of clearance at the front of the car.
It isn’t pretty, but its time to start working on removing all of the ICE components.
Getting the car into that position was a bit of an ordeal. The car barely moves in reverse. It basically just creeps. Giving it any throttle makes no difference with how fast it moves. So I had to get a running start to get over the lip into the garage. I managed to get the rear wheels in, but the front wheels stuck. I tried to rock it to get it to clear the lip, but no luck. So I put my ramps in front of the car and drove onto them. I found a 2×4 to try to bridge the gap on the steeper side, then took another run at it and it worked, but it did snap the 2×4.
