Halp moving my wreck

[R3N]

So finally getting off my ass and getting my shell scrapped. Only problem is, how do i move it? Needs to be moved to the end of the driveway or verge for sims to come get it. Its up on stands and is a bare shell. Any ideas?

[RK 86 WA]

what condition is the 'shell' in?

Do you have access to a pallet trolley or a fork lift? lol

Otherwise wheel dollys and a jack?

[Mad_Aussie]

Go to bunnings, and buy four little steel dolly wheels, and tech screw them to the bottom of the shell. Hopefully they don't break, i've done it to an old r31 shell and worked ok, aside from being dodgy as fuck :P

[R3N]

will this work?

Well you've got photographic evidence of it working...

I once welded up some wheels to the Civic shell i gutted, which broke due to a couple uneven bits in the driveway. I ended up pulling the shell out to the front of the house using a rope and 4x4. it wasn't very heavy in the end so it left a bit of a scratch 20 odd metres long but overtime thats now almost non existant.

decent wheels will cost you a fair bit... i went the cheap option as you can guess.

I have a pallet with 4 castors bolted onto it which is great for this sort of thing

[Bridantay]

offer beers, get mates over. job done

[Fukushima]

dont forget to offer turns angle grinding also

[dmwill]

3 copper pine logs (The kind they have sticking out of the ground surrounding parks).

Evenly space them under the shell and start pushing... as each log rolls out from the back, get someone to place it back at the front and keep rolling.

Bit of a cave-man spec thing...but it worked to move a shed once :)

Failing that, scrap timber/nails/cheap casters from Bunnings.

^LOL

that epic.

LOL this advice is going to help me too when all I have left is a shell! Or do panel beaters buy panels off you??

i dragged my 33 shell down the driveway with an SS ute. :D

could i borrow that? can pay in alcomohol for troubles!

not keep on leaving scratches on the driveway so something on wheels would be good, might go steal some shopping trolleys. what do shells weigh anyway?

We tried that, left big scratches going down the driveway.
The other time we had to move a wreck we used two large metal rods and slid on that, was easier and saved the driveway somewhat....but did take somewhat longer.

[Fozzy]

You are welcome to borrow it.. however.. I am in Ballajura so it might be more economical for you to go to your local industrial area get a pallet and then bunnings for the castors and bolts.

But if you want it.. PM me.

was on the side driveway, which was just that pea gravel shit... i just had to rake half it back down the driveway when i was finished, lol.

Got a trolley base should do it, its about 700x1300 on wheels.. In Welshpool If you want to borrow it let me know.

Shell should be close to 248kg's*

[Steppo_GT]

just lift it with 6 of your mates. couldnt be that heavy is its just a bare shell

[Nelos e46]

i have a mini prime mover with a hiab if your interested, have done jobs like this often. pm me for more details

[Niva]

Hose down the driveway and drag it with another car

[mitchy]

kuek doesnt have 6 mates

[Mistikal]

i dont have any mates

Fixed :)

Agreed with mates idea - put on a carton of piss and invite a bunch of mates over to lift it down, won't take long.

[mitchy]

no debating that either

[Deke]

use 2 engine cranes or 1 if it goes high enough thats what i did

[R3N]

WTB: 6 mates!

Cheers for the suggestion fellas, will try some things over the weekend

[mr_mike]

2 trolly jacks one at the front and one at the back and skull drag it down the driveway.

[jaybee]

lots of thick black plastic and lots of detergent, then just pull it haha.

yeah nah best way is to get 6 or so people to lift it as mentioned earlier.

[dhs]

in for wreck lift
im just round corner mate :)

[mys1]

3 Kmart Skateboards

Then get drunk and skate with mates after, throwing boards at said shell...

[gerrin]

if i can back up to it i'll winch it up and get rid of it

[s-tranzor]

Any chance you can come grab my fairmont wreck Gerrin? Or can recommend someone. Rang about 3 guys so far and everyone of them has been a no-show. Has no wheels, sitting on axle stands in my driveway.

[R3N]

sweet Gerrin!... I'll send you a PM
