Rollover spit

[zsdom]

I’m looking at getting one to start welding my Fiesta and wondering if anyone has any recommendations before I buy from ebay

If you are a welder then surely this is something you could make ?

Very good point, what I should have put is I’ll be learning to weld as I go

I've seen a pair of engine stands made into a car-spit.

All the more reason to weld the thicker material of the spit first.

You should learn by welding loads of scrap of similar thickness, don’t do you first welds in the car.
Tack and run first don’t try long welds straight off.
Buy lots of linishing and grinding wheels.
