It was a fella in a town not far away from me has a mobile set up was handy because we [cossie 09 and myself] stripped her at our leisure and then booked him as and when was needed.

The car was treated with stuff i got my hands on that has a 25 year anti corrosion warrenty with it so thats her more than sorted in my time

Looking good mate, but jesus fooking hell support the car properly while working underneath it. A few scrap wheels and a brick is asking for trouble. A mate of my colleague at work was killed the other day while working under his car that wasn't supported properly.

iTrader: (2)

hi mate/the car was supported very well/it was on a spit,the old wheels were there just for holding it still.cheers

ghia4x4

Yeah it was well secured it was tested 2 the limit over the heavy winds around autum time and thank goodness for the tyres under the motor in at that time
