kind of a silly question, but what is the proper way to lift a 79 c3 w/ttops.reason im asking is cause two buddies told me these cars have to be lifted with doors and hood open. i checked the factory repair manual and its says nothing of the sort. also did a search on here but found nothing. where doing the starter and trans filter tomorrow ata toyotadealership i work atso i thought id ask just in case.

 

Always safer to lift a fibreglass car with the doors and hood loose. I've had mine on the lift a dozen times with the doors and hood closed though, and haven't had a problem yet. As long as the frame and body mounts are strong, and you lift from good lift points with solid contact to the frame, you won't have any problems.
