Guys, I'm in the last stages of getting the garage sorted for the imminent arrival of my GTR (woo-hoo!!!)!
So before I go off and order the steel required for fabricating a dolly, I was wondering if anyone has one they don't need anymore and would be happy to pass on to a good home (I'm happy to pay a small fee and also pick it up)?

If not, anybody got any tips/extras or adaptions they made that they would reccomend? Im going by Stig's nice drawings... (cheers stig!)

Thanks, Graeme

The one I built is out there somewhere.
Make the ends as welded frames. Make up the length bars with a flange on each end with a couple of clearance holes. Weld some studding to the end frames so you can bolt the bars on.
It still has all the Stig dimensions but you can take it apart for transport and storage.

my god arnt mig welders great!
cant believe I can actually weld... (well sort of?.)

anyway does anybody think it would be a problem to have the three long length ways peices the other way up?
eg two at the bottom and one at the top? I was just thinking i could use the bottom two to form shelf to store stuff on?

Is this a good or bad idea?

cheers guys
