transporting mk1 shell

hi guys, i just sold a shell with no front running gear only rear. any one have any ideas how to move it on to a trailer using castors or sumthing?

hi mate i got mine as just a shell we just lifted it of a flatbed by hand not to hard with a few people

Several ways, all probably beyond your means or equipment you have:

1. Get the wishbones, hubs, struts etc to put the front wheels and suspension back together

2. Telehandler, either lifting underneath the engine bay with forks on a pallet with blankets in between (or something like that), or lifting at the front engine mount, or using a rope/chain/strap between the 2 side mounts, or maybe the wishbone supports or other secure area if the engine's not in it.

3. Skid plates, ie little sets of wheels

4. Frame through bumper mounts with wheels attached. I have one of these, but for the rear, not sure if its the same mounting for the front though.

Other more dodgy, but more affordable options:

5. Somehow arrange to lift it so the trailer can be positioned underneath, then lowered onto it.

6. 2x Skateboards

7. 2x trolley jacks

just some ideas, you should be able to sort something out from the above.

Long piece of scaff bar straight across the front under the front chassis legs and tied in place then get a few people to help lift the front and drag it on.
