Can anyone in brisbane west subs lend a hand?
Hey guys I don't usually ask for help from people I don't know, but it seems that because I've lived in brisbane for such a short amount of time I
still don't know enough people yet.
I'm currently stripping down my 66 bug for a rebuild and have gotten it to the stage where it's almost ready to have the body lifted, but I can't
seem to find enough people to help with this.
If anyone would be kind enough to lend a hand some time this weekend it would really be appreciated, as I have been held up for a few weeks trying to
organize a few extra hands, but no'one seems to want to chip in.

yeah sunday would be fine, but I still need 2 more, have been told it takes 4 people to safely lift the body off, I'm kind of a smallish bloke but
I'll still give it a go.

Depending on how stripped it is you can pretty easily do it with two people... as in no guards, no windows, no doors.
But yeah - four is best.
I could probably spare an hour or so Sunday around 11'ish.

A box trailer and a couple of planks/sleepers maketh a good resting place for thy shell.

Looks like you might have enough people now. The earlier the better for me so if you want to PM all of us your details, we should be able to work
something out for you.
Cheers

ok guys just waiting to hear back from stidub and then I'll know what time is best and who'll be able to make it, so far we got 2 people willing to
do it before 11am and one after so depending on what time works for him we could either have 4 people for the morning (myself included) or 3 people
split between the 2 halves of the day.

ah awesome, I would hope that I have everything prepared by then so all we would need to do is lift the body and walk it backwards and sit it on it's
temporary base.

Just turn up, all of you! The more the merrier......many hands make light work.
And DungBeetle, put on some 'refreshments' after the hard work is done. 
Have fun.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

well so far I have willing
8am crew
carl and emily
68bus
yogie
blaksheep
have messaged 3 of them but only recieved one reply so far, yogie for some reason I thought you were only available post 11am so I didn't text you,
my bad.
11am crew
sides
stibug
but that's still 1 person short, so might not be a go.
on another note, I just got attacked by a swarm of hornets while disconnecting the horn, little suckers have a nest under there that I wasn't aware
of until now.
so now I need to wait for them to calm down enough to kill them.
