So I'm trying to figure out how to get a 90 FC back to my house.

It has no wheels, subframe is broken/off, and nothing is hooked up in front either so it appears that there's no way to get wheels on it unless I put in a new subframe, front crossmember, or fab something up. All the suspension/hubs/etc are in the hatch of the car, just no way to put them on really unless I get some replacement parts.

Any ideas on how to get it back home without any wheels? I was thinking of trying to find a flatbed and just making a ramp and dragging it onto the bed with a truck, then dragging it off once I got home, but that'd totally **** some stuff up that I'm trying not to harm.

Anyone had experience with this? Any suggestions? I'm going with my friend to look at it soon hopefully just to try and figure something out, but I'm trying to get this home as soon as I can to start some projects. Just need some ideas.





And please ignore the ghost thread, operation timed out

 

ive seen these things that look kinda like creepers, but its made to go under each wheel , so you can spin the car around and stuff, maybe you can put 4 of those under the frame rails or something and move it around with out damaging things...

 

Haven't heard of anything like that but I'll look into it.

 

I have those, they are wheel dollys. Used for moving cars around FLAT level surfaces as each wheel has a mind of its own.

You should look into this $200 90 TII red on black..... oh wait..... I already bought it!

 

Oh well, I'm getting a free white 90 FC with running engine (bad oil control ring though). Also has broken subframe but all the suspension/hubs/etc are just off the car but still free, complete black interior, full drivetrain, etc.

I'm happy

Now I just gotta get it home

 

it could probly be pulledup on the flat bed via the wench... but thatd be a lot of scraping on concrete lol...

 

Yah I'm trying not to do that

 

I had the same problem when I took my stripped GSL to the crusher. What I did was get some 2X4's and utility wheels and build a dolly for each the front and rear of the vehicle. Then I used the winch on the trailer I rented to pull the car onto the deck. The only problem I encountered was when the dolly wheels got stuck at the end of the ramp. To solve this I used a floor jack with wheels to lift the frame off of the respective dolly and pull the car forward until I had room to put the dolly back underneath it. I didn't have to unload it, the crane took care of that part, so I can't help you there. Good luck.

 

Hey, I see you're in Kirland. I think I still have the dollies if you want to use them let me know.

 

heh... ask dan atkins about how fun doing that one is.

 

I'll let you know after I got look at it, depending on what I can hook up will depend what I need heh. Thanks for the offer.

 

**** man im in the same situation, i took the subframe off my vert to put it on my sa and now im just trying ship this **** outta here! Ill let u know how i end up going about it
