what tools can you lend to the project?

Look in here for details of the fourms weekend makeover project. We will be doing a Transit restoration project over a few weekends and auctioning it off for charity once completed. Everyone is welcome to come along and take part.

Well, I have loads, WAY to much to list.
I'm a mobile mechanic by trade so if tools are needed its not a problem for me!

Has a date been set for this pimpin' weekend yet? New to the site, but would like to get involved! Got loads of tools from doing my own classic cars, plus stuff from my business in property maintenance, cordless drills, various power saws etc, plus a long chassis trolley jack. Would throw it all in the van, along with a mattress for kipping on, and stay the weekend.

we dont have a date yet or a unit :shock: :( but as soon as we get a unit we can set a date :) hopefully i can post some news soon :D

all i can say is keep an eye on this section for any updates :D

no volenteers refused - the more the merrier and if you have any parts we might need save them for us :D while we are looking for a unit we can still do a lot of the planning work :D

I'm sure I can find some parts in the deep recesses of my lock-up!! Used to own a car bodyshop specialising in classic cars and modified metal, e.g bob-tail Landy's, 6-wheel drive Range Rover, V6 RWD Mk3 Escort van etc. Sure I can help with the fabrication work, sounds like a top project!!! Will be a fair trek down from Manchester, but should be worth it!!
