muahaha much like you from the other thread....I can't possibly post a pic of my workshop :D

I do have a place where I'm a regular visitor but it sure aint mine

Yeh ditto. I lean on (use ;) ) friends palces for lots of my work. One friend is good enough to le tm euse space and tools at his workshop and all i seem to do is tread on and damage stuff that he is trying to fix at his place of business :no: .... ;)

BTW your shack looks great Chris, I'd love to have my car living on a hoist. and lots of storage up top too. good work.

but whats the engine sling for? holding the gearbox up or something? you must be coming close to me for amount of time the motor is out of the car.....

Worm better turn soon mate or i am gunna bar out the porker and race that.

Not that it will matter to much anyway once that atomic blast orange hits the track aint going to be much that will be able to compete with it.

lotto wouldn't cover my plans :P

screamin' love your setup, a proper workshop with access after hours would be perfect for me since I never get to play cars during bsuiness hours anyway :yucky: nice air line setup there similar to what i was going to do in the shed.

Stu I love how much space you have...not sure why its not chock full of cars. God knows if I had that much space I would find a whole bunch of different "bargain" projects that I just couldn't pass up lol. At least you have 2 different r32 projects lined up out the back. And what are the big output lights doing on the top shelf not hanging from the roof?

BTW both those workshop's hoists remind me....why doesn't everyone have the joined at the top/flat floor style hoists? surely it makes it much easier to work under the car with transmission jacks etc? do they cost more or are there other reasons?

And...what is the best way to protect the floor?

This is mine, My father and brothers private Work shop.

Specs:

Area: Aprox. 600 sqm

Facilities:

  • Professional Paint Booth
  • Brake Tester
  • 1 large air compressor
  • 3 car lifters
  • and a lot of tools....

In the pictures, it is quite messy, but we are still assembling the Paint booth, and we have a few cars...

These are pictures from the first room, where the paintboot is located:

Been saving the pennies away this year to get a new shed up in the air. The cost of the slab has been the biggest thing that held things up the longest. Once it went down things went up pretty quick.

The first truck came just squeezing past the house and the garage.

Gnarls Barkley (the dog) decided the s13 wreck was a safe place to hang out while all the noise n stuff was going on.

the pore begins, and Yes, that is an industrial vibrator in front of the boxing.

2nd truck, 11.6 cubic metres of mud in total

Sara was there in her gumboots helping the concreters, or checking them out, or making sure they were doing the job right????

That was friday arvo, so with the slab down it was off to the race track to do some test laps before a race weekend. Had to let the slab cure untill monday.

I was looking at the slab and thinking that it didnt look as big as i thought it was going to be. Then when the frame went up..... HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!! Its HUGE

3m to the gutters. Slab is 12 x 7.5m

It is a Pontiac Firebird, 1971, not a corvette. My father has owned it for around 18-20 years. And it has never been finished...

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
