....to get a bare Mini shell onto the back of one of these??

 

 

I have my Mini on a pallet with castor wheels. I also have some floorboard lying about.

 

I'm thinking I could create a ramp with the floorboards and push the Mini up them?

between two of you you can lift a bare shell onto something like that, with three its easier, with 4 people.....its a doddle! got any local lads who could give you a lift?

Should be able to get a least one mate to help me lift it. Just trying to work out the most economical way to get it over to you.

Just drop the sides and rear then lift and walk the shell on

When you planning to do it and where in Coventry are you if I'm not busy on the day I might be able to help depending on time and location. Feel free to pm me.

A very kind offer thank you.

Im in Coundon, will probably be in about 4 weeks time. I should be ok to get a few mates to help but thank you for the offer.

..here you go - the cortina was affectionately known as 'the beast", so this combo became 'the beast with two backs'.

 

got quite a few odd looks driving through St Albans with that strapped to the roof.  handling was atrocious. the cortina rolled like a boat anyway, and with the shell on the roof it felt like it was going turn turtle every time you changed direction (..roundabouts were particularly traumatic..).  

 

didn't help that no-one else would get in the car with me for the drive over - they preferred the option of a 'chase' car (..i suspect for reasons of deniability..).  Didn't help my nerves that everytime i checked my mirrors, my so called 'support' team were ***** themselves laughing
