I’m also starting on a cheap rotisserie using a borrowed engine stand and a trademe $50 purchase.

I decided to make a wider base for my engine stands as my mate told me his one can feel a little unstable when you tip the car over.

I don’t have a big workshop to play with just a tandem garage so don’t want to take any chances.

First part of the firewall is all cut out.

im going to cut the bigger holes for the brake booster and steering column out using a local engineering shops water jet.

im getting over this stripping back milarky.

painter friend of mine said doing the underneath is the shittiest part of the whole car building process so looks like I have a few more hours to go to get it ready.
