I’ll never be able to keep up with those standards!

Front end off, wiring loom out and scuttle plate off.

Pretty tidy in there!

Rocketing along Drew. Plenum looks good?

I don't know if you can put this back together without painting it now you've gone to the trouble. It looks good enough im not sure why you need to put it on the rotisserie. I have to come down have a look.

Nah mate I won’t be painting it, the patina is too good to let go!

Rotisserie is simply so I don’t need to crawl around on my back cleaning the under body, and there is a few rust repairs to do.

Yes come on down, welcome any time

This is going to such a great wagon. Can't wait to see you work through it. Solid looking rotisserie you have there.

I'm only playing games posting that ute - its for rear cut and some kframe goodies....although I do have a spare pillar and the rest is doable.....😆

Well she is up a turning!
That’s a job off my bucket list, always wanted to mount a car on a rotisserie.

Prepping the underbody will be a breeze now.

Pretty excited to have a couple of days off the tools and spend a stack of money on new parts!
