interesting to see you are working on the car with it on it's side. Do you have it on a chassis roller / tilter?

1983 1500 (currently restoring it)
1989 1500 GF - on the road
2003 Mazda RX8 - modern version of the X1/9

Aspires to a Lancia MonteCarlo (code number by Fiat and Lancia X1/8 then X1/20)

Guy, would be happy for you to pop round I sure could use your advice on one or two issues (nothing major). I've still got all the left over pistons and rods for you.

The car was on a home made rotisserie made out of hospital trolleys welded together. I've seen many designs mostly over engineered. The car is qiute light with all stipped off so a minimal design wa fine. It was on this for at least a year and a half and was easy to rotate. It makes it super easy to do the important stuff. You still have to be careful though. Ian from inverness dropped his and his rotisserie was way better than mine. As a safety measure I supported the car with a pulley system.
