Any people in and around newcastle (gateshead) wanna pop over in a few weeks and help me strip down a 4x4 sierra over the weekend. Beers and tea supplied, maybe even a few sandwiches

Be good to see whos in and around this area, as i'm here fairly often. ChrisR has already said he'd help.

So who else wants to have a bit of fun with a sierra? Any tools you wanna bring would be cool.

Cars sat in Bensham, Gateshead.

What type of samidges?

Get your order in now and i'll make sure we have it

wasnt that 2 litre one off ebay, was it?!

Nope... bought it ages ago off twinturbo. Been dry stored in girly's garage.

Time for it to go !!!!

I'm in. Any excuse to get the grinder and tank torque wrench out. Just drop me an email.

Cheers

Mike

Ben,

Don't know anyone with an engine hoist, but DJ Tool Hire on the valley have one, not sure what the rate is but we use them all the time for work.

I've got two sets of plans so we could just build one.

Anyone in Town got one?

[Edited on 20/1/05 by Chris_R]

with all you guys on the case, you shouldn't need an engine crane, either lift the engine out the car or the car over the engine!

Ned.

I don't have a hosit, but hired mine from Lord in Gosforth. £10 plus the VAT if I pick it up first thing on Saturday morning and get it back by 12 noon.

Ben, any news on the date? Got to organise childcare.

Probably a bit late notice this weekend....

So probably be next weekend now, unless people can organise things for this weekend.

I can do tomorrow afternoon and Sunday. Or all day Saturday next weekend. Cheers

ok then, lets go for tomorrow.

Guiness U2U me your mobile number and i'll text you if i have to cancel.

Mines 07855358230, if anyone wnats to come down, give me a buzz and see make sure we are doing it.

Looks familiar, car right way up, car on side, car back on floor!!!

Cars going tomorrow, being picked up at some point. That should be fun when the guy turns round and says he cant get it out of the alley !

Shame we didn;t get any pictures of it on it's side strapped to the telegraph pole

Cracking day. Thankfully I didn't break anything.

I have been playing with photoshop a lot this weekend though and I hope you don't mind mike, but I've been tweeking your avatar. This one might be good for April.
