Cav Gsi Bus 
just thought ad give use an update on what av been up for the past weekend or 2
soo.. purchased this little beauti for £200 Sheets... had plans just to keep her on the road but i thought fuck it break it and sell... and you will see why ...
soo i picked her up...
she was clean and looked good...
thenn... i started to notice some rot / rust
the screw driver went str8 through .. 
then i lifted the back carpet and saw this and thought.. what the fuck  two little shite bits of weld holding that on ?
ohh nooo 
what pissed me off more is that the guy had used this to take his kids from school and back....
so after all that jazzz decided just to strip the cow... 
soo out she came...
then we were taking all the wheels of.. and had a bit of a problem with the last basterding wheel ... soo improvise ... Wheel + Seat Belt + Vectra 2.2dti = .....
 
taaah dahhh
say goodbye...
The Rhino Cav
Final Resting place...
R.I.P
felt a bit shit about breaking one... but its done and dusted now and all is for sale..

We used a similar method to that with a British Gas Van to get the steering wheel off a Nova once
Good job mate! that rust bucket needed to go to the scrappy.

surely it was dodgy pulling a wheel from the car using extreme pulling power whilst the car was on axel stands?!

It sure was. But what possible damage could we cause? Hole in the floor?

I was being serious! A 2.2 DTI is a bit extreme to take a wheel off!

It is a bit more extreme than a air gun though!

An air gun wouldn't have got that off! The bolts were a pain in the arse, aye, but determination got the bolts out.
The wheel was literally stuck fast to the hub. I doubt it'd been off in the last three years anyway ...
There was only so much force we could use against the wheel with a mallet or we'd risk breaking the alloy. Seat belt trick was the kindest trick I could think of for the rim
