Long story short, I have several "hobby cars" ie money pits, I enjoy working on them with friends (pending the restoration task) but lately been out of country and outsourced the task of putting on some skyline r32 axels to a shop which i had poorly appraised for this task, clearly too difficult as the chasis has been somewhat butchered and the previous wheels and axels with spacers cannot be put back on from this shop, hence i have no way to move the car to another location.

Im currious how wrecked cars are transfered when there are not rear wheels to tow a jacked up car. Ive seen truck/trailer for hire on side of sukumvitt pattaya near ptty tai, but dont see how i can get it up onto the trailer without a crane. I have inquired with numerous people but nothing has been done and so would be grateful for any suggestions on how to move a currently unmovable car!

Cheers :jap:

If you have got front wheel on a breakdown truck will be able to toe.

No wheels at all, use crane straps and a vehicle with a large Hi-ab.

Cheers, agreed, will need to be lifted with truck equipped with crane. Not sure how i can go about finding one of these, last resort ill go to ban phli near bkk and ask around there for either a rental i can drive down for a weekend, though it be better if i could find someone locally in pattaya with this. Might try asking around large repair shops or insurrance companies which may have contacts of someone with one.

I have seen sliding tilt-deck wreckers in LOS. Not many, but they are around.

The truck deck rolls back and then tilts down to rest on the roadway. A front deck-mounted winch is used to pull vehicle onto the deck, where it is secured for transport.

Very popular in N America.
