Well I recently started out on my first real LC project and realised that all that bending in cold conditions wasn't good for my back and was spoiling my fun.
So being on a tight budget, i asked around to see if anyone had a lift for sale as didn't want to spend £300 on a new one, not yet anyway.
I had little luck, but eventually saw a small lift unit on fleabay and bought it for £20.
Was a bit rough, so cleaned it up a bit, and gave it a lick of paint....
Then picked up an unwanted kitchen worktop for £21, trimmed it down a bit and fixed it to the top of the lift.
Bolted my wheel chock to it, added a couple of eyes to anchor the ratchet starps to it, and bigo, I now have a lifting work surface for less than £50...
Hopefully this will allow me to get on with my LC 250 refurb project. More on that will follow in coming months......
