wow nice buy.. slightly disappointed though i thought i was gonna see a RC home made one.
I was planning to make one but it was going to be about 70quid in metal or you can buy them in kit form for a simple one for 110quid, so had a look to see what was on secondhand, and here we are, will have some mods though don't worry

How in hell are you going to get that home? I'm assuming it doesn't just unbolt?
It does unbolt, storing it would be a bitch otherwise i could just pick it up on the car trailer, just wheel it on

theres somebody up the road from me with one of those for a land rover, noticed it as I walked past looking twice as I thought i'd gone mad seeing a car rotated on its side. Be good for classic shell restorations
Thats cool, now when you hate it an get fed up you can set a fire underneath and cook it right the way through on the spit
Can i borrow it?
Could be for rent when its not in use
Shweet.

as you may of seen in the unit thread i got my self a spit at the bottom ofthe page
http://www.mk3oc.com/forum/showthread.php?35805-The-Unit-)-)-)/page37
it came with end brackets for a mk2 escort and a lotus sunbeam, but suprisingly not mk3 astra so had to get the fabrication hat on had a spare few hours so started on the front ones.
one of the ones that came with it wasnt too bad a fit for a base
i removed what was left of the crossmenmber as i wasnt using it anyway so i could put some chassis brackets in too.
had a measure up and drilled out the holes to astra bumper bar width
it took ages, with the plate and the box its about 12mm thick there lmao
now usually people just do it to the bumper points, but i wasnt too happy about that so i decided to make some chassis bars too
drilled holes all the way through the bar in the right places
took it back out and welded nuts on the back of those holes
and bolted all the way through
one astra front mount
welding shots
and ready to roll, literally
will see if i can do the rear one tomorrow night
