Hi not sure if anyone has done this or if it is possible, thinking of getting a 325 engine for my car need to get it from Cheltenham to Slough got a 2 door e30 if I take out passenger set can the engine be put in the car or is it to akward.
I know some zoners have estates and truck any one willing to transport it pm me a price, or does any one know anyone /company willing to do this , will not be on a pallet.
thanks

Depending on what day you want to go, I could give you a ride up there in a sprinter van, just cover the cost of the diesel (doubt it would even be £20 there and back) plus I have an engine crane to make it easier to take it in and out?

On the other hand I pass by Cheltenham frequently enough on my way back from Shropshire, so could possibly collect for you on my next trip?

Shout me if this sounds of help
