Hi all,
Due to sudden ill health of my grandad and the promise I made to restore the family 1 owner FC -- i require the loan / hire of a car trailer in SA this weekend.
I hope to pickup the vehicle over the easter break and then return to adelaide to start what I hope will be a resonably quick restoration (heres hoping).
Only problem is the car is in wagga, nsw - about a 2000km round trip. So looking for a trailer that is in good nick I can use for 4 or 5 days. As far as I know, most hire companys won't let you take a trailer interstate.
Obviously relevant security bond etc would be sorted.
Would appreciate any assistance I can get from the early holden supporters.
Once its back in SA - i will also need a point in the right direction to get a new floor installed, and paint / panel work done.
Cheers
Peter.
Try this guy for the trailer - Peters clean up & go trailers, 0402053501
I am not sure what his interstate policy is though, I have seen the trailer venture to the far east though ;)
Very reasonable rates too. Otherwise Cookes trailer hire would be the next option.
As for paint and panel, try chatting to Cameron at Mullers Road Crash Repairs, he owns a tidy EK himself so knows his way around an old holden.
thanks for the info.
have left a message on peter's clean up and go mobile.
Easter is pretty busy, so fingers crossed I can get a trailer organised.
Even looked at buying one, but can't find much for sale at the moment.
Cheers
Peter.
Call him back, he's not too good with returning messages, between 5 and 6pm seems to be the best times.
I have family in Wagga as well - (where is your mob located?) - is there a national group that you can just drive one way from Wagga back to Adelaide? I was thinking that it may also be quicker and cheaper to get a carrier to bring it down - or does it need extracting from a shed and sorting out loading etc.?

Thanks for your tips. Relatives and car is located @ uranquinty, and also some @ ashmont. Wagga's my home town, but haven't lived their for last 20years.
I need to make the trip anyway so I can check on the health of the relative. Also the motor has been removed due to a stuck clutch so a carrier isn't going to work.
