    Question on moving a chassis w/no wheels

    To those of you that have sold chassis in the past without wheels, what method did you use to transport it or ship it? I have the E30 M3 (shown in the sig) that was recently totaled and have sold some of the parts off of it locally. I have the springs and struts sold so basically it will have nothing to roll on.

    Should I buy a cheaper suspension just to make it a roller? Or is there another way to move it? Any help would be appreciated.

    Call up Funk, I'm sure he has some junk laying around for you on the cheap.

            Just get castor wheels, if the body is wreaked, shoot some big self tapping screws through the body to hold it on.

                If you're going to put it on casters make sure you make the casters a decent height away from the body so you can still pull it up on a trailer without bottoming out.
