Finally got the Green Hornet up in the air

Wheels off to inspect the brakes and stuff.


First did front/back side lifts, but then needed it a bit higher to get under the engine. Tried the center front/back points, and they are much more convenient. I found I had to let the rear end down before the front, but still hit the handle.

Not too crazy about the V-Tops, but they're all I have. Fit my Golf fine.



Under the car, found the Underbody Lining had pieces busted off.


For $200 I'll use liquid duct tape instead.

I hate rattles (who doesn't?). I think this thing was flopping around. Also, the handbrake cables were bouncing off the trailing arms - I think that's something I was hearing, so I tie-wrapped them up just a little.

Cleaned the lug bolts on the wire wheel.


I'm not sure how often I'll need to get under the car with it level (can you do oil change with just the rear end up?) but Liftbar may be in my future.

Durametric arrived today
