Anyone used one on a Nova before?

Thinking of purchasing one to do some welding and undersealing/protecting work.

Any comments or advice are welcome, thanks

do you really want to look at the underside of a nova? lol

my mate uses one where he works mainly for welding and undersealling stuff

They are good, helps to have a few folk to lift the shell up onto the spit but they turn pretty easily. IMO a must have if your restoring a car. As it saves you lying on your back removing layers of underseal and good access for welding.

I bought a self assemble kit from www.mk2mania.co.uk

You can buy them flat packed (the one I got) or pre assembled. The one I bought went together really easily and with the amount of weld I applied its as solid as fook!

Only £90 inc delivery.

I saw them on Ebay, i was considering buying one because i thought it would be easier than having to source appropriate metal.

Roughly how much space do you need for one?
