Touring shell on transit?

[shedrool83]

Anyone had a shell on the back of a transit tipper ?
How did it fit? Looking to get rid of my shell at the weekend and hoping to get it away on the back of the works transit tipper but i think it will over hang a bit.

Shell will be around 4.1m long. How long's the Transit?

[shedrool83]

Havent a clue what the size of the transit is Brian.I dont drive it at work just know we have one and was going to ask for a shot of it.Its never on the yard when i'm there to measure it either.

Nick they wont give me anything if they collect it ,plus i have alot more to go at the same time after clearing out all my spares.
Which include 21 alloys getting sick of keeping things just incase i need them at some point.

[chopper]

Any decent wheels in the heap??

[E30BeemerLad]

this was mine on a 7 1/2 tonner, think it may be a squeeze Nick

Body could be anything as they are built onto the standard chassis. Big grinder will make light work of the front end nipping it by about 1 metre

wow scrappy's round your way are harsh, mine gives me up to £50 depending how much is left. i know the feeling of having crap lying that you will never use, i'm having a clearout soon i reckon.

looking at that pic i think you will struggle to fit it in the back of a tranny flatbed too.

Borrowed the picture ^ from LeeParkes, do it the pikey way

How you planning on getting the shell on to the transit?

Think your right about it being a squeeze

Started lightening it a bit for moving so my have to get the saw out again

Its a tipper mate so going to tip it get the backend on and lower the tipper while pushing it on.

I'd ditch the MIMs if I were you, they're ugly. In fact, I'll run them down to the scrappy for you if you like

ten bob bits are made that shape because you need a fookin spanner to get it from a Scotsman's grip!

[beema_boy]

Local scrappy offered me £100 for my E30 or £70 if they collected it.

They didnt even complain when they came to get it that it was stripped down to the shell.
