I called Sheffield Towsure, said my 77GT Celica was too old but game me the
name of a firm to call.  I did, but forget the name, 99 + VAT, takes a
month but thats no problem.

Healthwise i think it will be a struggle to fit, how many hours and wht sort
of cost should i be looking at to pay someone?

Also i will need to store it in my back garden, its the last of 5 houses so
i have to get it past the rear of them, its a 4 berth and looking at a
simular sized trailer (not seen mine yet) its too wide, but standing on end
would be fine.  Im thinking of some sort of dolley.  The guy at the end has
just made is own trailer to tow, nice thing so im sure i can ask him to make
one. How much would you say?

thanks.

Without knowing exactly how much of a bastard it's going to be undoing the 
30-year old bolts and faffing with the 30-year old japanese boot floor, it 
*shouldn't* take more than an hour or two, including the wiring.

What cost? I dunno. It depends on how much they charge you per hour.

I don't know. Bit I think I might know a man who'd have a rough idea. He 
lives "at the end". Ask him. What's the worst that can happen?

I know the wiring is a pig on the car, if i use the cig light the fuses blow
etc etc.  I had to wire the hrn up seperate along with the rad fan.

<scared> GET IT SORTED! Or buy a fire extinguisher.

Adding the towbar wiring won't be a big issue - at the most brutal, it's 
half a dozen scotchloks.

What fuse (fingers crossed) chaos that might initiate is a different 
story...

Its the fuse circuit to the rear brake lights.  The previous owner really
made a mess somewhere. Nothing really matches the manual.
