    Here's a few photos as I bring it home in stages. So far I've just brought the tub, top, and doors home.


    He gave me the engine hoist too!






    I decided to make these stands for my tops. It gives me a little bit of storage space and just keeps the parking a bit neater.

    If it gets windy there you'll want to put a lag bolt in each corner to hold them down. The isn't really light, but a good stiff wind could shift it enough to fall.

    Nice score, especially the frame. Reminds me of the fellow Rover owner who walked in to a Dodge dealer in ME in the late 70's and was asked if he wanted an old Land Rover engine free for the hauling away. Turned out to be a brand new 2.25 diesel.

    More unsloicited advice.....you want two bolts in those corner joints or some interlocked diagonal braces so your stands don't fold up on you.
    Don't worry, you're biodegradable.

    yeah, I had put a single bolt at each joint to hold it together then screws to keep it from pivoting, you just can't see them in the pics.
