Bonnet logistics

Hey guys

I bought myself an RA bonnet. However I have to head to the depths of Western Sydney to pick it up and bring it back to the Eastern Suburbs. When I pick it up with my lancer, will it fit in there? Has anyone done anything like this before?

Thanks!

Hire a ute and bring lots of blankets. Doubt that would fit in your car unless it's a 4wd?

You will need a ute or a trail or tom. The bonnet is massive! Congrats on the purchase :)

drive there without a bonnet and then bolt it on for the way back :-)

Possibly if you strip out your back seats an everything else behind the drivers seat you could fit it long ways but I doubt it. It be easier to bring a ute or hire a trailer

There is no way it'll fit in a lancer lol. It only just fit flat-ways in the back of a pajero

I don't think I'll hire anything, it'll cost too much

Problem is, it still needs to be painted and need the vents

I have a Mitsubishi triton but I might require some money, seeing as I am currently jobless
