Hey Everyone!
Am getting ready to start restoration of a '74 914 and am looking for an economical (or free! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) rotisserie near lower Michigan from someone who's done with theirs. I could probably travel 4-6 hours from south-central MI to pick up. Would prefer to reuse one vice build new (but am open-minded if none available). Any help, hints, tips and suggestions are appreciated! I have done a rotisserie search on this site. Thank you! Best regards, Chris |

I built one from scratch based on a CAD drawing available from restoration design website (https://www.restoration-design.com/store/RSRE). It wasn't hard at all. I actually sold mine once I was done with it to guy about to restore his 914. I think I paid about $350 in metal and another $100 for some real wheels (casters). I strongly recommend welding up your own especially if you haven't been welding in a while (or ever). Here's a link to my rotisserie build pics (Rotisserie Pics)

Awesome! Thank you for the links! I did not run across those in my search. Glad to help! I was in your same boat a few years ago. Some old-timers on this site advised me to make my own. So glad I did! My issue with the typical engine stand rotisserie was that my 914 was really rusted out and I was concerned about supporting the unibody as much as possible. I never flipped the car more than 90 degrees and it was typically sitting in a 45 degree configuration for my metal repairs. With this design you can remove the bars (up to two) to clear the area for you to work. With the metal on-hand and the right tools (i.e metal saw and welder) you can build this in one weekend. Good luck with what ever you decide to do. |
