Re: Storage
Agh bugger it's a stripped body. No chasis. I am desperately looking for somewhere to store it whilst I finish arguing with the garage that has my car in its lock up. Any ideas of places I could store it?

Re: Storage

Re: Storage
Hmm... Have you got a shed that you could out the body on? Or store it at a friend or relatives?

Re: Storage
Unfortuneatley I'm renting at the moment, so no storage where I am, and the only relative with the space is now moving. So I'm kind if stuck. Basically looking for somewhere to store it for at least a couple of months, otherwise I have a problem which is never good.

Re: Storage
Andrew, I have a small trailer - let me measure the bed tomorrow (provided I can get out there) and see if a body will sit safely on it. Do you have the ability to transport it here and lift it off?

Re: Storage
I have to arrange for transport from the seller in Birmingham anyway, so was thinking of arranging a low loader to pick up the car, as I don't have a trailer, and I doubt my moggy would be up to towing. Any help would be fantastic. And massively appreciated.

Re: Storage
checked today and the body could be stored on the trailer if you can get it here. It's not a big trailer, so wouldn't be able to transport it any further than in and out of the barn.
