[Mel B]

Is anybody free next Sat/Sun to give me a hand getting the fecked engine out of my new car? All weather permitting :wack:
Im going to hire an engine crane ready unless anyones got one they could bring with them??
Ive got tools and il get the most important things the beers :D

I aint done it before and could use the help :nod:

This is the list so far:

Saturday- Me, Buffy and Greg. Get engine out, fast, because of my missus :wack:

Sunday-
Ade76- The pasty lover
Unipscycho
Dave- Torqueshop

[Buffy]

[unipsycho]

I might be able to help.

Never done it before, but I'm a good tea boy!

Will let you know!

[Mel B]

Cheers buffy :thumbs:
Unipschyco as long as you can open the cans your welcome :thumbs:

Il get some names down and pm the post code you.

Buffy you know where it is ;)
Buffy have you got a crane spare for the day?

[unipsycho]

Unipschyco as long as you can open the cans your welcome :thumbs:

I can do 2 at a time! :thumbs:

[Buffy]

I haven't got an engine crane of my own :no:

With so many of us needing one lately/very soon, perhaps we should buy one between us :nod:

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=020110145&r=2050&g=107

long reach one so no problem with getting past the front bumper :)

Or maybe I will buy one and rent it out as needed ;)

[Mel B]

Il have a look in the free ads on wed/thurs and see whats in there. If theres a cheap one 2nd hand il buy it. If you want to keep it at your garage then you can as i aint got the space and hopefully wont be needing it after this month :wack:
Il hire one otherwise. Ive got to buy an engine stand from m/c mart too :( money, money ,money. My missus aint gonna be pleased :wack: i am though and thats most important :nod:

[ade76]

i'll pop over i am good at handing buffy the correct tools :nod:

[Mel B]

i'll pop over i am good at handing buffy the correct tools :nod:

:no: thats my job :D
Come on over i got more little bits too do too ;) so the more the merrier :D

Il be breaking my maroon S13 soon too, so whoever want to help gets first dibs and good prices on the things i dont need or want to keep :thumbs:

Dont post interest for bits here as i wont reply. Il start a thread when ive stripped it :)

[Escy]

i'll come along and help out :D

i'll buy the suppressor off your alternator and the plastic ring that holds the gearstick gaiter in place.

i wish i'd bought an engine hoist. i've rented one so many times with my various heap of shit cars that i could have bought the one Buffy linked outright. only reason i didn't is they take up alot of space and my old man wasn't having that. :(

[Torqueshop]
