Site track car - "The Rebuild" - Bodies required!

Well as some may know, things are making headway now with the site track car.

We have the car at Marcus' house where it was introduced to its new engine.

The front end has been partially stripped by Marcus and Grimmy to save some time.

The big news is, the swap should be going ahead on the 8th and 9th February. Now we need as many bodies as possible to help. Marcus and I are available both dates, Grimmy is fine for the Saturday at least... so who else is available and willing to lend a hand?

Bacon rolls will be supplied as I will be buying the equivalent of a pigs worth!

This should see the car back to track glory once the better weather comes!

whatever else, get a engine hoist/crane.

Plus if you can do it on a hard standing so you can push/pull the crane into position.

Makes it so much easier, dont forget that pig of a roll pin, that you have to knock out. Thats twice, one on the track car, one on the s/h engine.

Proper pin punch or drift is a must, plus a big hammer!!!!

Jacks and axle stands to get the height, I'd even be tempted to get it to a friendly garage, so you could use their ramps, if you cant get it out quickly.

Called round Hire companys today & I can get Engine hoist delivered on Fri for wkend hire with collection afterwards for £40 all in inc VAT,
played a few small places against each other
Blair Im supposed to be Dayshift next Fri but will put in for a holiday,
If I cant get it I will be home around 3pm but no probs with people being here to make an early start if they can.
Also if it runs into Sunday 8th that isnt a problem as Im off.

I should be able to get hold of an engine crane, just waiting to hear back from my mate who currently has it

Worth keeping the hire company as a back up though
