What wheel inners did you use on your roller, they look just the job, very deep but 'smallish' diameter. I like the concept - I presume 2" scaffold tube. I am going to have to do some work on our 4 door soon underneath. At my age!! it's a lot easier with the car on it's side. The engine will be out as it needs a rebore so that at least will make it lighter.

The one in Rays post is mine.

One bit of advice, make sure you get good castors. The ones shown on this picture weren't up to the job and had to be replaced with meatier items. Both sets came from machine mart.

I'm a bit scared that I'll either
a) bend/ buckle the wings or roof,
b) buckle the wheels,
c) kill myself under 800kg of rusty steel, or
d) all three in no particular order!

All I want to do is weld ...
e) set fire to the bales of hay with the welding torch :o
