So as the title says. I am trying to knock off a few projects over the next couple of weeks. One of them is moving the series one out of the garage. To do this i will be taking it down to the chassis rails. I am chasing a lend of an engine crane for a few days to let me get the motor out and then transfer it onto an engine stand for rebuild. If anyone has one to lend i can pick it up form Brisbane north side and drop it off with a carton of your favourite afterwards.

Im west but as Im likely about to go away for 4 weeks and will be putting my projects on hold you can borrow mine.

I should find out tomorrow and If Im not going I might be able to break mine down in time to get it up to alexander beach with me on the weekend.

if you've got a reece hitch on the back of your vehicle or can tow a 50mm lunete ringed trailer....

I'll just throw the crane in the trailer drop it off to you on the trailer, you look after the trailer for me till Im on the way back on monday and I'll pick up the empty trailer from you.

what else will you want, ground plate, leveler, chains, shackles?

PM or phone call as I'll have to sort out the logistics rather snappishly as we leave tomorrow at about 1300 and plan on swinging past about cabulturish at ~1500

SWMBO will want the cost of a carton over the actual carton itself... apparently my booze collection is currently in excess to my requirements.

If it doesn't work out with Dave, let me know. I've got a folding one that I can lend you.
