how da funk did it get up there?

crane?

Forklift is a must in large garages... :P

As you can see, we also have a Triumph TR7 on the "shelf" on the opposite side of the garage as you can see in one of the pictures...

Know i know why you are asking about those lights.

Let me know if your interested mate, there are 5 of the big ones and a heap of twin fluros.

i never needed them.

love that shed, about the same size as I am going to build. which brings the question - now its up do you think it's big enough?

7.5 for sure, 6m is tight/short. The shed at our last house was 6m and was always a struggle. This time with the extra 1.5m the differance is huge, nice big bench and heaps of room all round the racecar.

Ther is a heap of gear in there now. There is a 39 Chev and a sill80 packed tight in the corner where there are no rollerdoors and my trimming bench finishes off that half. The skyline is at the other end and an EH that is getting retrimmed in the middle bay. witt have to tacke a pic if i remember tonight.

The bigger the shed the bigger the mess, thats my theory anyway :)

Then again my neighbour has 2 double garages (1 either side of his house) for his 3 cars but then decided that wasn't enough room so built another double garage in his backyard as his dedicated workshop for his 67 Camaro.

I on the other hand have a completely car-less double garage just waiting for my new project to arrive :banana:

The car is worked on and stored here in the old mans back shed.

But whenever various bespoke parts and ideas need to be fabricated/machined/designed we go here......the other workshop!

love what you guys are doing in that shed, your car is a monster.

but it cracks me up that no matter how big the shed is some stuff still has to live outside (engine hoist, parts washer, rear end and whatever is under the tarps lol). great spot for the spare boot too

I'm hoping fabrication is your business, because there is an amazing amount of expensive machinery in the other shed. I can't get over how much fab work goes into a race car, even a touring car. We spent all day today working on the rear subframe - cutting, welding, measuring, checking etc etc it takes sooooo much time.

in the toilets dude

lol. funny you should say that. about a year ago or so I went into a car audio installer/auto worshop. I had to use the can and when I went in there above the toilet was a huge stack of vintage 70s and 80s hard core (and I mean hard core) porno! haha. cracked me up. needless to say I didn't come out for about 40 mins afterwhich my mate came looking to see if I had fallen in. :ninja:

Massive choking hazards back then, hey?! ***

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
