Hi guys, I'm picking up a inop roller 914 tomorrow in Louisville KY. I'm looking for ideas for loading this 914 on a U-Haul car transport trailer. It will likely be just my wife and I and we may need some mechanical assistance to load it.
Q: Has anybody figured out a way to temporarily mount a hand crank boat winch on said U-Haul trailer? Another potential 914 parts car has a broken passenger side suspension console. Any ideas for loading that on a U-Haul trailer would be appreciated as well. |

Both 914 projects I trailered home had one or more frozen calipers. That can make things trickier unless you have confirmation that it actually, you know, rolls. If not, bring enough tools to remove calipers as needed.

Quasi-bonus, the brake lines are rotted away... so no fluid, no pressure! |
