Capture

Today is the day to pick up the Rover and move it to my garage.  We will be renting a car hauler to move it so are taking the opportunity to move a few other vehicles.  The first trip is to move my MGB out to Bragg Creek so we can paint it.  The B, we call her MeG, is stripped down to the rolling chasis.  It needs a bit of body work but we are taking care of that, check out progress at 78mgb.blogspot.com


Once that was delivered we moved Dads 1951 Chev half ton to the garage in Calgary.  This truck is a beauty.  My dad did a complete frame off restoration on it, polished it right down to the last nut and bolt, this truck has to be seen.



Once the truck was delivered it was time to pick up the Rover.  The Rover doesnt run, so we had to winch it on to the trailer.  This caused a bit of grief as we were completely blocking the back alley and the neighbor was late for work.  I don't think I have ever cranked a hand winch that fast before.  In all the chaos I didnt get a picture of it on the car hauler.  Here it is, after the fact, resting in my garage.


The roof and doors had to be removed to get it out of Steve's garage and into mine.  Since I will be taking it completely apart anyway, I decided to leave them off.
