Thread: Grovers HT....

Thanks Grover what thickness tube shs did you use on rotisserie i have no idea what my car will weigh I'm only talking cab(sedan) no sub frame or diff.

Ah its a bit of overkill at around 4mm wall thickness that I had laying around, the bare shell doesnt weigh much.....

Ive got 3 mm shs i will just use that and brace as much as possible thanks.

Yeah that will be fine. i can take some more pics in a few days if you like.

Pictures of how its mounted in more detailed photos on fire wall and rear would be nice thanks mate.

No probs I'll try and sort that out tomorrow

Time for a quick update. The car doesn't have a lot of rust but what is there obviously has to come out. The bottoms of the back guards need to be replaced, so a while back I bought the rare spares replacement panels. I'm working on the drivers side at the moment and started to strip the paint and bog from the guard to fit the new panel.......found some fairly shabby repairs under the bog......as you do. The right hand replacent panel has the body line in a totally different spot to where it should be (reminds me I have to ring them about that...) so I will need to cut and shut that a bit so I moved onto the shitty rusty dogleg. Made a new section, took the old bit out, put the new bit in....... yada yada yada...

Love to but vowed I'd never do it again.....ended up stripping that guard back to metal this arvo, was a bit lumpy and bumpy then I thought about your probs and it was all good after that.....

Not happy........just puts things in perspective

Yeah leaf with a rather narrow F100 9 inch.....

Yeah just finishing off underside of the tubs and left hand dogleg etc.......had a few issues with the rare spares rust panels so thats next on the list.
