Default here you go:

go to Costco, sam's club, or similar location
buy a 2 ton lift, a set of ramps, and the 150 tool kit (sockets, hex bits, etc.) (metric tools)

should be about
$50 for the ramps
$40 for the lift
$50-60+ for the tool kit

Buy nice tools for your pride and joy. Get good quality tools that won't break or strip fasteners. You'll need regular and deep sockets, plus combination wrenches. Try www.rgbforge.com/facom for high-quality European tools at a huge discount. FACOM tools with a lifetime guarantee. Same company that makes SK here in America.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rgbforge.com/facom">http://www.rgbforge.com/facom</a</li></ul>
