YE.HA PIG ON A SPIT . finally got the ute up on the rotisery still getting used to it being up on its side now i can see how bad the rust is and have now found some repairs done in the past so there's more than we knew about .(thought that would be the case )so were not at the bottom of the hole yet .the real fun starts soon .the screw drivers will be replaced with bolts in the next couple of days for those with a keen eye .thanks garry for the rotisery photos on his post i'm going to paint them later on.
