Tru,
That nice looking red lift I have was a big break for me. I had been looking for something that I could get the car up on, and this outfit had just started up. So when I talked to them, they sold me one for a very low price if I would take some pictures of the car on it and let them show them at car shows. I even got the bridge and bottle jack free. But I love it. The lift is 20" high and with the car on it I can sit up in most places under it to work. Took me 20 minutes from the time I took the boot off untilI had the transmission on the work bench once. A guy that I knew here built one with heavy wood and he measured mine and it worked just as well as mine. Only he is a retired machinist and he went a little farther than I would have. He cut through his garage floor and put in hydraulic jacks on each side so all he had to do was push a button and it would lift the front up. But he can't widen his or move them like I can to work on other cars.
Sounds as if your weather is on the way to getting better. What is the switched reverse trick? Good luck on the axel seal.
