Got a two post lift, no floor plate and assrimick arms.

Allows you to get out of the car without hitting the door, and takes up less floor space.

As far as foundations go and bolting, there is nothing special needed. Normal concrete strength and thickness are OK.

I park the Porsche underneath, and keep either the Formula Ford or Lotus above.

Just remember, that most two post lifts are designed for front engined cars. Porsche being midengined has a different centre of gravety, so it can get unbalanced.

If you lift fiberglass cars, just remember that you must lift by the chasis, otherwise body up on the lift, chasis on the ground.

If lifting Formula race cars, the shorter front bars are usually not long enough, so some extension is needed.
