Once i could walk again ... work started. The next step was to take care of the rear half of the chassis from the b-pillars back.

during the time i was out of commission while the car sat, we had some really humid days and unfortunately after welding i didn't get a chance to coat the bare metal and so it flash rusted. i was a little disheartened by this, granted it wasn't serious all i need to do was to remove the flash rust, it felt like talking 1 step forward and two steps back, but pushing on i did just that removed all the surface rust and coated with zinc primer.

from that it was slowly transformed back and looked like this

once that was completed i moved on to plug welding all the seams, this included the door openings, the window openings, the seams in the the engine bay and the rocker seam.

once all the seams we could get to were welded ... we went a head and built this.

these are just prelim tests, we later reinforced some areas of the rotisserie and lowered the pivot piiont closer to the cg of the chassis to make it easier to rotate, unlike a proper rotisserie this one took two people to manipulate the chassis, the reason why my bro and i built a rotisserie is because i couldn't justify buying a rotisserie just to use it a handful of times. But in the end it did what i need it to do !
