Jason's 99 Boxster doc thread

MaxJax is almost set up. One of the anchors didn't sit and ended up spinning, even with epoxy. Have an epoxy anchor on the way but am going to see if I can rescue this one in the meantime. This will make life so much easier.

When sizing it up I decided to forego trying to be able to fit another car in for now. It would be too close for comfort, so might as well give myself some extra width. All concrete ended up being at least 5" thick with most spots 6" or greater.

Hopefully I can post a pic of the car up on it within a week!

I would say please excuse the garage and pretend it isn't always like that, but it is lol! Well, except for the trash, that of course will go away.

Awesome, I'm always on the brink of buying an old lift from a shop. I'd like to put a second garage in my back yard but my grass is so god dang nice. Maybe its time to buy another house just for cars and parts. LOL

Those max jax lifts can be easily moved right? You could do duel parking if you can figure out a place to store the posts right?

So, whats up with the water tank in the back? Looks like a gravity feed system.

Thanks for the head's up. I'm committed to doing as much of the work as I can myself. It isn't a daily driver so if it has to sit a few weeks while I gather parts and the nerve to do something it's no big deal lol!

Yep, posts are portable. Takes about 15-20 minutes to set them up. We typically have 3 cars in the garage. I love the MaxJax. It's so nice to at least be able to sit under the car vs laying down all the time.

The tank is my "fuge" for my salt water tank. Basically it provides additional volume, a refuge for very small crustaceans to breed and provide natural food for the fish, and a place for me to put equipment that I don't want or have room for under the display tank.
