Typical I paid $50.00 bucks for this thing and get it home and start to (destroy)dismantle it to make it better.


Changed the design 15 times so not doing too bad I suppose


Just as I was getting fully motivated ran out of Oxy then ran out of mig wire (now depressed again)Oh well must push on for the cause Embarrassed Fridge looking good again.


More pictures when finished not too long now. Angry

A spot of weld a little sanding a lick of chassis black paint and hey presto.

 I got some lockable wheels for $5 bucks each at local market hopefully will take the weight, when I pulled the lifty jigger to pieces I used the steel which was 50mlX5ml box tubing,bloody heavy now finished but will never break.

So now will be able to jack the car up and down with foot pump ram and rotate the car with the 3:1 ratio gearbox crank .

Think Im getting the hang on putting photo's on now (hopefully)
Anywho here is my rotisserie cranked up to 100% Revs then blue the fourth cog right out the front of the crank  Angry Cry so now gone back to a manual rotate but who gives a ford it still does what I need it to do,
Oh well back to the fridge now because work is flatout at the moment so will be missing in action for a while. will get at it a bit more now this thing works. Grin
