scrap & scoop

My baby has finally arrived at her new place!


Loading her onto the truck was far from straightforward because of the castor wheel construction at the rear (track at the rear not as wide as at the front) but we luckily managed thanks to the long wheelbase of the Z.
Because we were all very busy getting the job done, unfortunately nobody had time to take some pix. But it's all in my mind so it won't be forgotten :)

If you look at the RH 'sugar scoop' you can see it's dislodged. That's because one of the guys at the shed accidentally hit it when backing up his car :/ As a result, the LH front fender also got dented cuz it hit the post next to it. But worse, the front part (encircled) got bent as well. Nothing that can't be straightened but there's enough work as it is.


I'm glad the dollies underneath the front wheels worked perfectly. Because all steering components were disconnected, the front wheels wouldn't remain straight when pushing the body around. But thanks to the dollies, covering the 50 meters from the entrance to our space was a breeze.
