I want to clean up and paint the under side of my sierra so my question is can you turn the whole car with the interior and doors still fitted or is it too heavy.And how do you go about doing it.I'm going to start a project on here soon.Any help would be grateful

you need a 'spit' i very much dout it would hold the car with the interior etc stll fitted though, could be wrong?

And you've gotta consider all the fluids in the engine which would soon become...not in the engine?

I'll de taking out the engine/gearbox/back axle/fuel tank and the front hubs before i'd turn it on its side

as said a spit, with everything out it you literally bolt the car to it then spin it round like a spit but they aint cheap to but and if u make one it has to be super strng to take the weight of the car with or without an interior!!

Theres a guy that sells them on eBay. Think they're around Ł160 and he offers a 50% refund if you return it after use.
I'd strip the hole car down though. At least that way you can do any welding if you find any rust. Wont take long to rip out the seats and carpet.

I'm doing the same to my fiesta and it'll be getting fully stripped. I'm a welder my trade so i'll be making the spit myself

I was thinking of making spit myself out of 2" box steel.But i never seen one up close to see were it goes into the car or what height to make it
