2 questions.

1..How did you deal with the down-casting from the turbo to open it up? It's
pretty chokey

2.. I have heard of someone making a sort of a "roll cage" that one could
drive a car on to, then roll it up on it's side. I think there were supports
that bolted to a couple of wheel studs on the low side, and probably chain
restraints on the high side to keep it attached.

Someone with your fertile imagination and skill with a torch might be able
to fabricate it out of 2" water pipe and angle iron.

I once had to repair the fuel tank (gas) on my wife's rabbit. This required
dropping the rear axel. I took out the battery and slid a couple of planks
under it, laid an old mattress on the ground beside it, and flipped it on
it's drivers side on the mattress with the bucket of my B-in-L's tractor..

Dropping the axel and R&R of the tank was a no bend or squat job. I would
like to be able to do this with my Jettas.

 I have seen locally, a form of outdoor ramp-hoist that you drive up the
ramps and it tilts level about 5' from the g
