The door on the left is 8'w X 8'h, but it doesn't count because I have rented that bay to a neighbor for boat storage.

The lift is in. I got it from Patriot Equipment Group (336) 402-0690.
It's made In China like most of the others, but there are a few advantage over Eagle and some other brands. The vertical pieces are single-piece beams (Eagle's are two piece). The hydraulic lines run inside the columns (Eagle's hydraulic lines are on the outside). The over raise cutoff switch is on the crossbar. (Eagle has the cutoff at the motor and a string pulls the switch if the car is raised too high.) Honestly, I didn't know about these differences before buying it. I just got lucky.
I've not used it yet, but I am pleased with the first appearances and the people are great to work with. Their terms are cash on delivery and before install, but don't let that concern you. (I guess they've been screwed-over before.) If you need a lift, call Rick Peters and let him know I sent you.
Spoiler: This weekend I will be grinding the concrete in preparation for epoxy coating. I didn't epoxy the floors before because there was a risk that it would be damaged while installing the lift.

That's an awfully tall lift for an awfully small car.
Which reminds me, I need to replace my clutch, pressure plate, and swap to a lighter flywheel. 56k street miles and 16k track miles have pretty much killed it.
