& i,ll be able to see over the top of most vehicles on the road .

the reason my chassis is on top of my van is with the great help from forum member "Mark", we stripped the engine/box/diff/all wishbones/suspension etc to just leave the bare chassis so that i could move my car to the Saturn sports cars premises,
thanks to the help from Mark it was stripped & on the roof within an hour & a half & on its first journey to the unit, got it unloaded & within an hour it was all back together again, engine/box in & back on wheels.

a big thanks to Mark for all your help, shout if i can repay the favour

so now the car is at the unit i,m hoping to have it finished within my original schedule by January & hope to have it IVA,d end of Jan.

cheers
andy

what have i started. all i did was post a picture of a kit car on the roof of my car and its turned into a competition to see who can take to the highest level.

i think your winning so far andy. although the vehicle is way to suitable for the job. but then again i do have to commend you for getting it up so high. it was a bad enough job getting one on the roof of the car let alone on a van

my van might only be an old LDV postie van but it certainly has its uses

it was quite easy to get the chassis onto the roof, just stood it on end at the back rail & lifted/slid it over the roof of the van, all the engine etc in the back of the van with engine hoist made the van even slower than usual
got some strange looks especially when i had to stop off at a B&Q store, you could see people looking thinking "what the hell is that?"

couldn,t have done it without Mark,s help tho

cheers
andy

A little update.......

As most of you are aware, the last 2 months have been a hectic time ( my involvement with Saturn Sports Cars ), in getting the unit ready prior to opening for business at the beginning of November.

Spud69 suggested that as i haven,t had much time on my own car recently to set myself a target .....

So the target is............. to do the following to the car, brake lines fully installed, fuel line & tank installed, wiring fully fitted, engine fully fitted

and to have the engine running by Christmas

fingers crossed it,ll happen........GULP

cheers
andy
