Cheap Non Running Car Transport? Melbourne > Sunshine Coast


Recommended Posts

Hey can anyone point me in the direction of cheap car transport that accepts non runners. It's a 82' Stanza standard ride height with no engine but brakes and handbrake work.

From Melbourne depot or Pankenham (hour from Melbourne city) to Mooloolaba.

Cheers.

Probably not going to be cheap if it doesn't run as most car transport companies require a vehicle to be driveable to go on a multi car transporter, which would mean it would have to be a flat bed tow.

I would budget around $3 per km for a flatbed

Around $1 per km for a transporter

Big companies won't mind that she's not running, they'll toss it on the prime mover's cab with a fork, but that will only get you to Brisy.

Probably need a tilt for the last bit.

Might pay to check that the fork won't damage any under body/chassis rails etc.

I use Gympie tilit tray transport who does a few Brisy > North trips per week.

Nothing is too much trouble for him and far more reasonable price than your local tilters, Claytons.

If you can get it to your door for $800 it might be the easiest option.

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
