Nicely done...I did mine this way too (a lot of people are watching both our videos on it, that's how I found yours) and it's absolutely the best way to have a lift in a small garage!
Great video Thanks. So funny too! Man it looks cold there, wherever you are. I'm saving for a Scissor lift for my channel right now. Recessing it into my floor is what I need to do too. cheers from Australia
That looks amazing. I have the same issue with my scissor lift now and made ramps to get my cars onto it. I don't think my garage slab is thick enough to do that though. However, thanks to your video, I'm going to research this more. Thanks!
I like the work you have done to make the lift disappear when it's not required. but it seems like a lot of work. Would that not reduce the height that the lift can go to? I went the other way. I built a box to go over the lift when not required but it also doubles as a variable height table! You can see what I have done on GGWorks channel.
That’s “Real Nice Like!” I am considering doing a similar job for a scissor lilt welding table. Any suggestions, or things you wish you had done differently?
You mean the spilled oil catch bucket? less prone to fire when welding on car if i can get the spilled oil contained to one small spot for cleanup. same reason i painted it with epoxy paint dident want oil soaked fire hazard. slopes to the bucket.
Hey Justin, keep an eye out on my channel. I'm about to install a huge scissor lift for storing another car.... 8feet underground! The lift is on the boat now! Should break ground in a month or so.
I do concrete work for my living so its maby slightly different for me than it may be for you, but it was only like $400 worth of concrete and i did it in like 2 or 3 days. Used steel and visqueen i had around but was less than $100 in rebar, visqueen, tie wire and nails if it had to be purchased. I would think if your doing all the work you could do it for under 600 dollars today if you can get concrete. As weird as it may sound there is a shortage on portland going on right now.
The floor and side curb are about 6 thick . The steel ties it all together and ties it to the exsisting floor threw the 6" curb/wall. That was the purpose of the extra 6" wall. I originaly pored the garage floor on the thick side too and the grade was tight.
Its gonna get expensive and take a lot of time. Busa output shaft to either fwd or rwd setup you choose is probably most hard in the build. Schnitz racing is the best place for the busa motor build. Without a dry sump you will probably spin a bearing fairly quickly.

That's an amazing job 👏 👏

Totally digging this video, I have the same lift and love it but I'm currently using a couple of planks on the sides as ramps, this way is kick ass!
Thanks
That's some impressive work. Did you consider cutting a channel for the control lines.

Got any pics to share? Simple wood box?
That’s

Nice! How many yards of concrete?
Whats the hole for? Mouse trap?

@@JustinGoinsfixit Seems a little overkill to me. I think you'll be fine.😉
@@jagboy69 yeah.. Iv had this same building burn to the ground before around 10ish years ago.. After that hapened i see things differently.
@@JustinGoinsfixit I bet you do. Good thing argon is heavier than air. 😉 It should fall to the ground and fill your area.👍

Very impressive
Thanks
What was the total time and cost to do this (Minus the lift)
I do concrete work for my living so its maby slightly different for me than it may be for you, but it was only like $400 worth of concrete and i did it in like 2 or 3 days.

Nicely done. Makes me wish I hadn't poured a 6" floor in my garage as it will be a bitch to cut out.
Nicely done! How thick is the concrete? What’s preventing it from sinking with the weight on it? You poured over dirt?
The floor and side curb are about 6 thick . The steel ties it all together and ties it to the exsisting floor threw the 6" curb/wall. That was the purpose of the extra 6" wall. I originaly pored the garage floor on the thick side too and the grade was tight.
@justin goins I'm making a 95 geo metro that I wanna Hayabusa swap can I get some tips and help this is my first build and I'm 16 doing it by myself
Its gonna get expensive and take a lot of time. Busa output shaft to either fwd or rwd setup you choose is probably most hard in the build. Schnitz racing is the best place for the busa motor build. Without a dry sump you will probably spin a bearing fairly quickly.
Is it possible that you can help me come up with a parts list for a fwd set up
All this guy had to do was place the scissor lift on the ground and drive over it. And he screwed that up.
