Just got home and got this unwrapped and a bit confused about it.

Its a Sealey made one.




Basically the whole red beam rotates around the bolts in the black bits, can't see the point of it and can't tighten it up as its just a bolt into threaded metal hole.

is this normal before i phone up Sealey tomorrow?

it has to do that, wings are slanted down, engines are level.

I like to think the Corrado raises people senses in the same way that a Sierra RS Cosworth does when I see one of those. You know the person isn't driving it because they can't afford to drive anything else, more because appreciate the car for what it is.

At least we're not all driving fake retroboxes like the MINI or Fiat 500

Get loads of it from work for free.

People make TV stands or tables, garden stuff from it.

I like to dish it out rather than see it burnt

How do you attach the engine to these? Never used or seen one used before

You get chains and the engine has brackets with holes in, so you hook the chain on engine and you get hooks that hang from the bar.

Will get a photo of it in place at the weekend.

I've got one of those, exact same as yours 3cm.

Handy piece of kit, just adjust the angle of the base's to suit whatever car.

Used it along with a trolley jack to put the engine in my last GSI.
