Dave's danglers!
I thought it might be a bit of a laff to get a photo thread going related to the brilliant work that Durham Dave and son Cory do to shift the infamous E85 roof motor into the boot...specifically, if you've had this procedure carried out by Dave or indeed others and let's face it; there are a considerable number of you by now, to post a photo of said spanner-weilding champions' legs/feet dangling during in-boot operations.
I'll kick off with.....

Here's mine, Dave and his son did a fantastic job getting mine and Smartbear sorted in just over an hour.
My motor was mint, not bad for an 04 car.

Had mine sorted at the same time as stuartt, but it didn't look like his shiny motor
Mine was rescued from the black lagoon & had been bathing in a stew of its own juices
It was still working but after some tlc it's now much faster

Glad you got it done now Stuart, I saw the twinkle in your eye when you saw my motor in the boot.

Just as Dave was finishing off mine he took a phone call from another guy wanting his done, he's unleashed a bit of a Hydra for himself .
