i am thinking of buying a brand new rolleover jig from these guys http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_5806wt_1270 but i will only need it for one build, i was wondering how much someone would buy it for second hand (theoretically)

thanks bill

buy it... dont think about it, just buy it, the hours of awkward welding it saves is crazy! i have mine in use at the moment, and can probably see me using it for my next project too, after that i would expect someone would pay maybe £150 for a second hand one. i would!

the way i thought about it, was the easier the welding is, the quicker it will be done, the sooner i can put it back together, and the sooner that happens the sooner it can be rolling down the road! if your tight for cash get their version that you weld together yourself, thats whjat i did, http://www.ebay.co.u...=item231aa91563 if your a good welder itll save £55 that can go towards other goodies!

Iv also got one and it's been a massive help. It's help speed up my painfully slow progress quite alot.

Well worth the money.

If you read the whole listing, they'll buy it back for 50% of the sale price when you've finished with it.

not a confident welder and i would rather spend 55 more so i know that it isent going to fall apart and damage the car. i saw the 50% back i was just wondering af anybody would pay anymore

I realise this was two years ago but wondered if you did buy the roll over jig as my son and I are making slow progress with his mini as we want to respray it and being able to turn it through 90 degree would make life easier although it is expensive when you add it all together, if we don't get it, we'll end up sending the car off to get the work done and that kind of defeats the idea of trying to do it ourselves. Also does it easily fit in a typical modern single garage which is really only just big enough for a mini

I built one for less than 100 quid, then made a small profit when I sold it after I'd used it for 2 years
