Default Barn/Garage/Roof...

Hi all, thought I'd ask in here as it's more active.

I need to replace my front control arms & track rods, but being a caravan dweller (necessity of my work - I ain't no pikey!!) I'm struggling to find somewhere dry/covered to do the job.

Just wondering if anybody in the Preston vicinity has a garage/barn/carport they could let me use for a weekend, or know of anyone willing to help? I'd be willing to travel a bit to get this job done.

I've got all the parts, nuts & bolts ready to do the job. I bring my own tools, jacks, stands, power supply etc. I just need a roof to stop me getting wet.

Anybody help?

Happy Christmas too, hope you all stay safe in your 8's

It's ok, I've managed to find a local farmer willing to lend a barn for a few days.
