Dave,
You lucky so and so! ...Wish I had some cover never mind a lift\pit.
Given the choice I'd go for a lift. Imagine the sheer joy of being able to
raise the car 2'6" above the ground and being able to sit on a chair while
changing your brake pads. Or welding a patch on a sill.
Welding in a pit is horrible, in fact all the pits I've seen have been
slimy horrible nasty fume filled affairs ...even the pukka fibreglass lined
type.
Nope, give or a 2 or better still four poster ramp anyday. Sheer luxury!
The latter BTW can sometimes be acquired at a very reasonable price used
and actually takes up little more useful space. In fact I know one guy who
stores his Herald on the lift in the raised position (locked off of course)
and uses the space below to store his everyday fug box.
Best of luck with it all
Matt.
