Forklift?

This worked for the initial part and then it was myself, a mate of mine plus the neighbour to man handle it onto the second shelf.

Well, it will be me, myself and I tomorrow. I am thinking that it is going to take me than a day as I have an engine to paint as well as get the HVAC unit in first.

I picked up the headlights today but not the wiper motor as it was not ready. Should be by Monday afternoon though. At least I can now finish the grille off as I bought some of the elusive small metric bolts for the grille today. Whilst at the wreckers, I looked at as many XC's as I could and they all had the short slide (middle of picture) bonnet latch, so that is the one that will be put on.
