I just bought some engine stands from Super Cheap (about $70.00 each). I had to straighten them as they come on an angle, added some braces and raised them to about 1220mm and make up some bars to attach to the bonnet hinge mounts and the rear bumper mounts.

A word of caution, do not replace sills while car is on rotisserie or you will have an FC sandwich :).
