Experience with a scissor lift on the Delorean?

[DrJeff]

Does anyone have experience with using a scissor lift (such as this one (http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-MR-06-Portable-Midrise-Lift)) on the Delorean?

Some of the things I'm curious about...
- Given the 'center of gravity' of the delorean and the lift locations, when on the lift is it feasible to work in/around the transmission?
- Did you have to put mini-ramps (boards) along the side of the lift to be able to drive over it?
- What key jobs did you revert back to jack-stands or ramps for?

Thanks

It can only be used on a good, level, and flat concrete floor. It will prevent you from getting to the accumulator and transmission. Most shops use such a lift to only lift a vehicle about a foot to do tire work. If you have a lowered Delorean it may not go over the lift without hitting. It can be difficult to get the car lined up properly, you can't move the arms or the lift, you must position the car to get it in the right spot. You need to have it hit the lift points on the body or certain parts of the frame. Many are not adjustable enough for a car like a Delorean.

I think Bruce Benson [deloronut] has one.

I've had mine on a snap-on lift like that. it was a portable one that you could wheel under the cause and had adjustable arms to put on the lift points. like DavidT said lot of stuff is not accessible. but good for quick lifting of the car. I wouldnt do major repairs like trans out or anything on it, not enought room and not high enough.
