no, well i could get wheels on it and roll it out but then id have to turn it 90 degrees so i dont block anyone else from getting past. then as our unit is on higher gound i would be able to tow it back up the slope and get the tow car out.
so ill be doing it inside :) ment to be 20 degrees here monday so to hot for waxing anyway

Fair enough. I've got both rear brakes done now and all calipers painted just need pass side to dry
