My car's going to be in the garage with no wheels, suspension etc. on. Whats the best way to keep it mobile, some sort of car trolley? Anyone used/got one themselves and has any recommendations? Cheers.

you used to be able to buy things from machine mart called somethng like an axle dolly or something. i had one when doing the corsa the first time and the nova before that. was great.

could maybe make something using some shopping trolleys they you could "acquire" for £1 each from morrisons? well, youve paid a quid, so legally id say its yours to do what you want with.

You can buy dollys but they're expensive.

I'm going to knock something up with the wheels off these -

Ian, good idea. A good while ago me and a mate was in the same situation, we used trolley jacks not for a long period of time though.

Already collected and the guy almost walked off without being paid. I think he was ashamed to ask for his pound.

Should be strong enough to carry a shell.
