Can't move car without wheels to a lift
So I stripped down a barn find and sent it to the parking lot to save up some cash and work on at a later time. I go to the parking lot and move it back to the garage without any problems. However, go to move it to a lift to start rebuilding it and it says it can't be moved without wheels.....

Anyone know a fix for this?

Do YOU have the might to move a car without wheels? Just put some broken or salvaged wheels on it man.

In the real world, this would seem logical, and the solution would be to put wheels on it.

In the real world you would have a frame dolly to move the bare frame. Regardless it let me move it to the parking garage that way so it should allow being moved to a lift that way.

Also, I can't "just put some wheels on it" since it's a bare frame with no suspension.

Oh sorry I missed the part where it's just a bare frame. My bad.

Good point, I did not realize and haven't gotten into the work where it'd be required. My apologies!

Same thing here... Was working on a barn find, and I kinda forgot to put one of the wheels back on, and moved it to the parking. The game moved it to parking without complaining or warning me. Now, I can move it back to my garage entrance, but when I try to move it to the lift, it tells me I cant (very logic indeed). The problem is that I cant put the wheel back on without being on the lift. The car is stuck either in the parking or the garage entrance... cant put the wheel back on anymore.

What we need here is a floor jack. Every real shop has one.

Check out this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/645630/discussions/0/1470840994971957563/

I had the same issue and solved it by filling all garage spots but one of the lifts.

Seems that there's a number of people that have run into this. Would be nice to be able to add/remove wheels without being on the lift.
