Body shell rotisserie

Mon Jan 03, 2022 4:46 pm

The time has come to finally to turn my attention to my M3 shell in preparation for repairs and paint. I'd like to get a rotisserie ro remove all the underseal, plus then for welding repairs and for the body shop to prep and paint etc,
I'm guessing no one has one for sale that happens to be in the south east , but ony one bought one , any mounting comments on the mounting points etc or tips on buying and using one ?
Thanks

This one mounts on the bumper mounts. You contact them with measurements and they make them to fit. They already had the measurements for e30s tho

That one you linked does not look wide enough at the base to be stable enough for me, I have one pretty much the same as their other listing, it may well be one they sold, I bought it 2nd hand after a guy had used it for an E36. Its a bit flimsy, the E30 ive got on it at the moment has all the glass in so is a little heavier than ideal but still should be fine, I have made a base for it though with box section and castors so I can move it around safely, I certainly wouldnt want this setup to only have one bar front to back like they are selling them!

That looks terrifying.

I think they make them to order so I'm gonna ask them to extend the base for me now. Cheers

I am using one from "Ade Foreman Light Engineering", you can find them on facebook or ebay. I have the heaviest duty one with wheels, it has a bit of flex when moving it or really going at it, but not enough that i feel its unsafe to be honest

Think it was ~£375 delivered
