Being from north of the border and a little tight with money. I made a pair of these things last year.
Worked fine, rolled a lancia spyder shelll to work on the underside.
Didnt try it with all the engine and gearbox etc as it puts a fair strain on the whell bearings and hubs.
I used 40mm steel pipe and welded up a box to allow bolting to the whell hub.
I needs a fair lift to get it up but was OK
Once its up just use an axle stand to keep it safe.

I saw these at Detling last year (I think) Quite impressive, yet simple. A bit pricey though.
Cheers,
Raz
When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

What about all the fluids? even if you try and drain them first, you will still make a mess!

These used to be marketed as 'Carollers' IIRC. I have seen them used plenty of times but usually on cars with no engine/box fitted. Far
better than upskittleing a car on to a few bale/old mattress!!
