My GTR goes for body prefit in early April, so the dolly is up for sale. Professionally built, on wheels, dismantles into 2 end pieces and 3 longitidunals, cost 250 and then primer and 2 coats of hammerite. Available for 200, pick up from Nottingham, 5 minutes from M1 J25.

You'll be in competition with me for those prices.

I was thinking of giving mine away to a good home.

interesting comments ...

so assuming that you have to buy stock steel and wheels, and charge some reasonable labour, what do you estimate a wheeled dolly, according to the established spec, that dismantles into manageable parts, and is delivered to the customer, could be built for?

as to giving one away, I wish you had said something earlier.

my view is that if someone wants to build an ultima, they obviously have enough money to buy or commission a decent dolly, which is what I did, without having to hire welding and cutting kit.

Steve - I gave mine away for a crate of Stella (ps. Dom - have you actually drilled any rivets yet? )

Scooter - all up cost for building mine was about 50 quid. The most expensive bit was the hammerite!

I did get the stock as 'a favour' though.

That said, you could definitely build one for 100 notes I reckon.

Anyone want to buy one for Cnam I think mine also cost about 50 and still have. Has become a bit of a sentimental feature.

Seems to be a glut of dollies around at the moment.
Ended up taking mine up the scrap yard a couple of weeks ago, minus the wheels.

Mine cost nothing to build. Got the wheels off a heavy duty trolly (6")
The box iron I had already and I could'nt see the point in painting it, just wiped the grease off with some petrol.
