Help moving a shell?

LaunchHard · 04-02-2006

Just bought a black 1g shell, and was wondering if anyone had a trailer, or tow doly I could use to bring it home. It needs to go from South Minneapolis to Northeast Minneapolis, so not too far. If anyone could help me out with this, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Junaid

tow straps and a NON RETARD in the other car! lol. Then push it into your garage with a monte carlo z34 because that's about all those are good for.

That's what I just did 3 hours ago

Call Enes.

Just found out my dad has AAA, so i think i'll call them. I'm not sure if they'll tow a car with no engine though, just because don't they usually tow stranded cars? I guess i'll find out today.

You can rent a tow dollie, theres a place right by my house, on Minnehaha and 46th st. I believe.

Pm'd by the way!

I tried to rent a tow dollie from u-haul, and they said "eclipses have clearence problems" even though i told them there was no engine or trans, and the car sits literaly a foot higher than it normally does. Then i tried to rent a tow trailor and they didn't have any. Bastards!!

You don't want a tow dolly if it is AWD because you would have to find a way to hang up the shaft so it will no spin and drag on the ground. Just call around for a transport but it is a pain in the ass to get it up the ramp without any help. Also if you do go that route make sure the E brakes work so you can brake the car if needed. But you will need some help loading (say at least four people) the car. It is going to cost you 50 dollars for a transport and some help from your friends. Best thing to do is just swallow the 100 dollars and get the damn thing towed to your house.

Just pulled into the garage, turns out my dads AAA worked out fine. I ended only having to pay 7 bucks to get it to my house. Just thought i'd tell everyone i got it home. Thanks for the help.
