The guy says it should be comfortably done in a week. I'll be dropping off the box and the new parts, and the guy will pull it to bits and see what needs to be replaced before it is built back up. That M2F5 has always felt lovely so hopefully there will be no nasty surprises. Fingers crossed at its worst it will need £300 worth of new seals and bearings.

The wheel dollies are excellent - place you've got to work in doesn't look half bad either!!!

(And may I say, that's some impressive looking bird jobby the car's sporting as well :lol: )

One of the few drawbacks of where it gets stored over the winter :D Fooking house martins.

Yeah the dollies are great on the concrete floor of our new lockup 8-) I don't think I would have got my car into that space without them. It leaves the other space clear for another car.

Woooooo!

Super Lap Scotland in 2014 and UK Time Attack the year after that.

Super Lap Scotland - http://www.superlapscotland.co.uk/ I'll weigh the car up so it will get into the sub 200bhp/T class.
Time Attack - http://www.timeattack.co.uk/ Remove all the additional weight and go for flat out performance.
