This is it, but needed to turn it round in a confined space, did it by backing it up to the fence with the Patrol at an angle, unhooked the motor and used the winch, sorry no pics of that as all concentration needed on the job

Backing it into the space but a bit tight

Final resting place, tomorrow will be the task of leveling and blocking it up and connecting the services, they are all in place just need connecting at each end, Rick

My land, it was in the way for turning vehicles with trailers on plus it got the sun in the summer making it unbearable, low box sorted it even then could not let the clutch up fully as would move too fast, wheels have 8 ply tyres at 70 psi and once on its wheels they looked flat, did not want to blow a tyre, good fun though, if you enlarge the first pic you can see the NS tyre, Rick
