With the end of August approaching it was time to get the 306 back on the drive as the Motor Tax was due to run out and I wanted to take a break from paying two hundred fucking euro a quarter on it, so I stuck it back on the drive. This left me no room to do work on the Jizz, so I had to actually make some room to get it in on the end. The cunning plan was to move the trailer tent round to the back and shuffle the V340 and 306 up, but I had some obstacles to negotiate...
First off was to remove a rotary dryer as that is where I wanted to put it. I never use it, it's rusty shit. The fucker that put it there however did a very comprehensive job of concreting the bastard in.
First I managed to break the top off

to find a solid bar.

Chipped away at the concrete a bit and got the angry grinder out.

Shoved the slab back and onto the next stage - lifting the trailer tent onto its side. It weighs about 170kg, and the trolley is rated at 150kg, but fuck it, it's all I have.

Being Billy nae mates, I resorted to getting my engine crane out to complete the operation. It's also getting dark and I have to enlist the help of a rather unimpressed Mrs H. We manage to get the trailer tent round the corner of the house but by the time I get to the back door I hit a snag.

That'll be a wheel fucked then.
Used a trolley jack to take the weight off the rogue wheel and get it into position
