    How to balance an RS Turbo on one axel stand.

    Just spent a couple of hours moving one of my mates Series 2 RS Turbo from his old garage/lock-up (which I'm now having) to the garage in his new house. Some numpty forgot to bring the keys so we couldn't turn the wheels. Oh, and there's no rear beam on it...So we had to lift it up and roll it everywhere

    Nearly all of the work done so far was done by my mate, his brother and myself. Took the chance to get some pics. Just the underneath rear half and bodywork to do now.

    Engine all done



    Safe on the trailor and balancing on original RS turbo wheels


    Aaaaand finally...


    ...how to balance the whole rear end of an RS Turbo on one axel stand while you get the trailor into position
