Ebay Item #150314500660

How much trouble to make a rotisserie like that one - seems pretty neat type of one to me.

Ask me privately what I think of special people like this who cut up perfectly good cars, lose interest for some reason or another, and then sell what's left on ebay. :P

As long as they don't bugger the cars up too much it's a good thing, it lowers the price of the project base and people who know what they are doing can get stuff at a cheaper price  ;D

i agree wiyh ken somewhat though as fc427 says ,tooeach his own.it is a pity chopping a classic,but makes our good cars more expensive cause they are rarer.people told me to chop up my donor car,i just couldn't do it.sold on a basket case to a guy with lots a dreams.
hope he finishes it one day.also the people that give up give us cheap starting projects cause they are over itand don't wanna look at it anymore

Don't get me wrong - I'm not against modifieds. I'm all for people cutting up FE's or FC's with a good plan and a good realisation of what it will require and what it will cost. But cutting out the front floor along with the structural member which holds the front subframe on is somewhat silly unless an entirely new chassis is going to be installed.
This car looks like the result of a rash decision to cut out the floor and then the owner realising that they didn't know what to do next, so decided to sell it.
The car will need an entire custom made chassis to finish it, or a donor car to put back the original chassis which has been removed.

ken i understood perfectly,and it makes me a little angry seeing these people with no idea also
(no offense to anyone in that comment)but you must have some idea where you are going with a project and do some research before chopping the chassis out huh?
