I know its old...but that is a nice tool

 

Did this ever go anywhere? I'd love to see an FC torn all the way down and built back up.

 

actually, an interesting thread to see back from the dead.

i've always had thoughts of doing the same, if not, something similar.

 

I will have something going into the works eventually.


And it's not an FC.

 

That made me fall out of my chair laughing

Did it to my car and I'm doing one with a very good friend right now. We took every last nut, bolt and wire off the unibody. He did some welding re-enforcement, then we put her on a rotisserie, pressurewashed, sanded primed everything and then treated the interior and underbody with stuff. I'm not at liberty to discuss anything else. He'll be making a thread though I'm sure.

Most east asshat. I have an annex that will be free soon.

 

People will be jealous of my restoration project, and I have told you about it before, I just need to get that rust bucket home! And I wish I had space to do it all at my place, but I can't. I guess I will have to rent out space at Tuxedo Park Racing here in St Louis.

 

Complete with all tools needed, experienced rotards, and a heated spray booth

 

Its like a car spa

 

Somewhere here... I can't find it right now but I will, is a guy that 1st built his Rotisserie out of 4x4's if I am not mistaken and re did his vert. There were ALOT of pics and very detailed updates. Sure you will NEVER get any where close to the amount of money out of it if you try to sell it. But It's your car strip that b down and start from scratch. You will have something you can drive for years and have a car to be proud of. My coupe project is gutted and a Rotisserie sounds better and better the more i think of it.

 

It is, trust me. Having worked on an FC on a rotisserie before, it is WELL worth it

 

Wooden Rotisserie Ftw!!

 

I wish I had the time, money and equipment to do exactly what this thread is about. I have been contemplating it for at least two years now, hopefully I can take some steps to making it happen early next year. I got serious inspiration from an article I read about Opera Performance in Japan, they did some amazing tear down builds of an S2000, RSX and a 350Z. If I could do something even a fraction as good as that, I would be extremely pleased. In my opinion, if you plan a project like that, you can not be thinking about a budget at all, you just do what you have to and finance the project as you go....but maybe I'm wrong, and I'll end up broke and still without a running car!!

 

im a year and a half into my restoration project and its definitly tons of work....you think you have it all planned out and then you get to one point and its like well i should replace this or do this as well and there is never any good order to replace and put things back together either.

the wiring is the biggest bitch.....im still trying to figure out what im going to do for switches because the stock ones are almost impossible to get to work right with anything but the stock harness which i ditched a long time ago
