Truenotch Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hey guys, A friend of mine from Auckland is in need of a mechanic or OS boe to help out with a 76 Combi that he's buying. It was brought in from Adelade at some stage, but when it arrived there was an engine bay fire while the dock staff were moving it. He needs to get it back to Auckland but the transport companies won't help him as it's a non runner, so he's looking for someone to help with getting it running. Apparently it turns over but doesn't start. Now, he's happy to pay someone if they can help out (workshop or private person), and he's also keen for some extra work do be done so he can drive it back to Auckland (non-complied, but meh ). So we're talking checking over the brakes, tyres, lights etc. He's very good with paying his bills and is someone that's worth meeting as he really is a GC and has a huge network of other GC's. It would also be great if the candidate could pick up the van from the vendor's house in Paraparaumu to get it off her lawn. Is anyone keen to put their hand up? @Seedy Al, @oldnrusty, @AllTorque, @Nominal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I imagine Rod Clifton would move it as-is. They shift broken-down and non-running things all the time. There is a workshop there who fix most anything. https://www.rodcliftonmotors.co.nz/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I would like to help. But unfortunately I have way to much of my own stuff to sort. Including getting my own kombi back on the road. Sorry pal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Who has he asked to transport it? I've had a dead car moved by Jeffs before. CaptainTransporter quotes ~$500ish for a non runner welly to aux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have a transporter here, if it's not too much of a drain in time I can sort. Got four big builds on that are overdue for completion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
