Here's the hoist in the back of my Subaru Outback. Having a gasoline "support vehicle" during the conversion to transport big items is a must. I'll probably be driving up to Seattle to pick up the Warp9 motor and other EV supplies from my colleague Carlo at EV-Supply with this.

The hoist is 228 pounds, so I carefully dragged it out of the car and put it in the driveway to check it's operation.

I still only have a single car garage, so I've stored the hoist in the garden hose nook next to the 914 EV. The legs are folded up and I've zip-tied them to the rest of the frame to prevent them from falling down in case I bump the unit.
