Avid readers of this forum will know I am finally building a car, an '86 Celica with a turbo V6 Camry engine for F/BGALT and F/BGCC. Might even use nitrous and run the fuel classes too.
Unfortunately I'm building it in my backyard. I have a chainblock available but I don't have a frame to support it. Does anyone in Brisbane have anything safe they can lend me for a couple of weekends so that I can do the engine swap? You'd be welcome to help too, all helpers get beer! And a tired 2 litre Celica motor if you're really unlucky.

Nobody had any skyhooks so I built my own. The Celica engine is now sitting on the ground and the Camry is looking nervous. Two weeks to do a couple of hours work (if you know what you're doing) is pretty hopeless and doesn't bode well for being ready by March. Seems that just lately I've been busier than a Baghdad brickie. While I was helping a mate move house yesterday (see what I mean?) I met a Canadian mate of his who, before he moved here, used to often drive down to Bonneville. He knew Bert Munro, Ak Miller, Art Arfons, Mickey Thompson and lots of other names from the past. He hopes to get to Speedweek in '08. Team Celica is getting bigger all the time! I'll try to get him along to the next bushfire at Don's place.
