      What did you bolt your chassis moving trolleys to?

      For the first time in my motoring life to date, I'm about to get some indoor space to keep a classic car. Inevitably I'm already buying tools and thinking about things I might need for restoration purposes even though the car is currently still outside!

      One of the things I would like to do is remove engine and everything from the bay and push it outside for cleaning of engine bay, wheel arches, rust repairs, paint etc. I fancy a visit by a mobile grit blaster (it's that vs hours of angle grinder and wire brush) to do the cleaning and for that not to ruin things, I don't want any suspension, driveshafts etc to be on the car.

      I was thinking of making a trolley like yours and bolting to where the wish ones did before being removed...

        The trolley was made by a friend and was originally for the S2. The uprights have angle brackets that bolt into the subframe captive nut holes. I adapted it slightly to fit the Ur. The front mountings were identical to the S2, just the rear ones needed some angle iron adding and new holes drilling.

          Nice one. They look made rather than purchased and that's the way it should be in my book.


          I don't have subframe holes on this car but thinking about it, the weight of the car sits on the wishbones so their mountings must be up to it for use with a trolley.
          Plastic or rubber wheels on your set up?
