Get the floor hoist, you'll be glad you did.  I bought a fold-up model at
Sam's Club for less than $240.  When you aren't using it, just remove a
couple of bolts and raise the long front legs to a vertical position. It
has pins to hold the legs vertical. Put it away in the corner. Mine takes
up only about  26"X18" of floor space.  the 18" being how far it sticks out
away from the wall.

BTW, my brother and I and soon to be restoring a 59 TR3.  Does anyone have
any good online sources for parts, starting with floorpans?
