I'm pulling apart my 240, and wasn't having a lot of luck pulling the diff and various sorted other items from underneath. I was sitting around dreaming of a lift when I realized, we have a tractor:



Easy access!

I don't have the photos, but this thing is FAR beyond a repairable chassis. Let's just say the tin worm was getting plenty of food off of it!

They do the same thing at Crazy Rays junkyard up in Baltimore, they have a huge tractor/forklift vehicle and they just carry cars around 10 ft in the air to wherever you need it so you can get the parts off it...

We have gotten our Mentos out in the past and just muscled one over on its back before They really frown on it cause it ruins the glass tho :/

i had to go under a 240 up here in pendleton indiana. I needed a lower wiring harness and had nothing to lift up the car. So i went back to the front and told them and they said well get someone to move it. The guy came with a huge forklift and proped it up like in the second picture and i just sat under there for like 15 minutes trying to get all the wires. Scary as s*** tho

sorry to thread jack but do you have a carpet in it that you dont want?
