Can someone post pictures of a Ghia or Bug on a two post lift? I have a two post lift and would like to lift my Ghia. I figure the torsion bar housing in the rear but where in the front? The pan, towards the outboard side, roughly in front of where the door hinge post is? Pictures would help. I have been jacking and putting Ghias and Bugs on jackstands for 40 years but never raised one with a two post lift. Thanks.

Yes I can. Give an hour or so. I have my Bug up in the air currently.

The simple answer is basically along the rails under the heater channel.

On my lift I put the short arms under the caps for the torsion bars, long ends, I put the pads under the ends of the napolian hat bolts (nice flat spot on pan that wont fold over). Have a ghia on it now but wont be home for a couple hours to take picture
