Maybe an existing RMS member could do it for you, a member who's also a member here at Practically? Hmm, who would that be I wonder? ;) Oh go on then, but otherwise, using a photo hosting service such as FlickR or Imageshack will enable you to link your photies to this forum.

Yes, I can see that fetching that down may present a challenge, good luck. How careless were they to park it there in the first place eh?
:lol:

Hi mate,
I've got a lancia delta hf turbo and I'm trying to find somewhere to get it fine tuned so the ecu is set up correctly, and the throttle and distributor. Do you know of anywhere or even do it yourself or have any tips, especially with the ecu mixture screw
Thanks

You could get a scaffolding company to build a simple ramp, shouldn't cost to much.

Or a fork lift which is probably how they got it up there in the 1st place.

Great things fork lifts if you haven't got a lift!! ;) :shock:

Unless the O/P could find a massive forklift whose reach can get across the ramp problem? :idea: Or maybe call upon the generosity of your local fire & rescue chaps & chappesses? It would give them a pleasant change from getting cats out of trees or putting out fires.

Lol it was indeed put there with a forklift but in the years that have past a 4 post lift has been fitted where the fork would need to go to get it down. And a scaffolding ramp would not fit in the area/space ahead of the car!

It will be a fork of some description though or some sort of block and tackle setup, a strong one

Could you construct something from timber or scaffold to get it on the raised 4 post ramp then lower it down?
