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. |

In answer to my last post re: loading a non-op 914 on a U-Haul with a broken suspension console... did it !!!
Picking up the car involved prodigious amounts of redneck engineering. The seller was an old school southern import mechanic and was extremely helpful in loading up the car. The donor car was hella rusty. like the jack went through several places in the floor pan. They jacked the front of the car way up using rubber blocks, sideways ATV ramps, etc. to enable me back up the trailer up under the front wheels and basically "muscle" the 2 rear wheels the rest of the way on the trailer. including the passenger side frozen wheel and severely broken suspension console. |

And you are going to repair this specimen? |
