[Craved]

you could call a freight company and get a quote..

if its like $300 then i would get a trailer and drive the thing up here, plus it'll be quicker

Put it on a Chep Pallet. Strap it down very very well.

Cover it with bubble wrap and blankets.

Mark it NO TOP LOAD

Tell the freight company you have a single pallet, weight 1200kgs.

Call Ferntree Gully Autosalvage, iirc they can get some excellent rates on freight and could have some good advice.

TOLL might be pretty ok. The cost will be for the weight of the engine and dimensions and distance basically. Some freight companies deliver them to your door step however, some DON'T!

I got my CA18DET and gearbox delivered from Sydney to Melbourne. As long as the engine is loaded onto a pellet the company I used charged $120 to pick up and deliver to my workshop in melb.

Always use private couriers, they're so much cheaper and will bend over backwards for your business (like organising a truck with a crane to pick up pellet if there's no loading facilities etc).

You might want to try putting it on a pallet instead... I wouldn't trust a pellet to support the weight of a motor.

(before i get flamed for my pedantics, funky started it!)

[funkymonkey]

that's enough out of you!

(yes ok maybe I had that one coming).

thanx peoplz lucky for me i got two jobs and one of em has forklift access... and yes private couriers are the way to go.

i also rang up some workshops and and spare parts shops and asked if they could recommend any1... so far the cheapest quote i got was $135

now that thats sorted, were the hell do u get this wire strap that i keep hearing about?

[FATGTS-R]

Just go into your local discount variety, two dollar shop etc and buy a pair or two of ratchet tie downs. Should be $5.00 each at best.

Im sure you could talk to your mate who owns PANNIC couldnt you?

I mean considering he'd probably know a few people wouldnt you think?

Why do i feel im stating the obvious though...

[ctjet]

^^^^^^^^

i could but hes not gonna no shit like that, he just used to dish hes money off to the guys at AVO and not ask too many questions

[R31Nismoid]

LOL

Cause AVO is the workshop that looks after PANNIC...

Wonder how the boys @ Bresciani would feel if you mate was dishing money out to AVO

classic

[funkymonkey]

it was Aussie wide Logistics that did mine

0404 055 083

Easy guys to talk to and negociate with. Based in Melbourne, but specialise in interstate deliveries.

Otherwise you could try http://www.busfreight.com.au but I dunno if they do engines.

[saff_cossie]

Transport Company I work for could possibly do it but that price of $135 sounds very good. They would also only transport it from Dandenong to Wetherill Park as they dont normally touch anything other than chilled goods.

[ctjet]

R31Nismoid hahahahaha u dont no shit, brescisni didnt build PANNIC, AVO did.... wen Mille (the owner) sold his car he sold it to Danny Besciani they tunned it up slightly and claimed it as their own. then they built up PLATNM with almost the same mods. they learned a lot from PANNIC and apply those techniques and ideas from Terry Wilson (at, yep u guesseed it chump, AVO!!) on their customer cars.

... but then y do i feel that u wont absorb much of this??

and FUNKEYMONKEY busfrieght r good people they do all my small interstate frieghting, but they wont do an engine... the logistics company sounds good tho

[R31Nismoid]

hook... line... and sinker
