Wow that's a tidy garage. Should have a nice storage space in the front of the car. I congratulate you on doing something completely different

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Well done mate.

You are now officially classified as SIC . (Sat In Chassis)



This brings back memories.
Mine was the other way round, facing the door.
It was a warm summers day so the door was open. Two old ladies walked by on the road outside.
They stopped, looked at each other, looked back at me, muttered something, and walked on at
an increased pace. I often wonder what they said, possibly, " That's banana'd."


Happy Christmas.

p.s. Nows the time to weld on earth points.

Forgive me for this, but has it taken you since then to get this far?

By the way, I like the appropriate 'fire exit' signage!

That's a bit harsh.... I know of at least one other person who is 11years in to their build and at about the same point.





We gain knowledge faster than we do wisdom!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Good times - a bit of vaseline on the lens and it could be Star Wars:

Ah! that sounds a bit more like it?

Thanks for the enlightenment, Mel!

Hi All,

Thanks, yes i did actually join the club a few years ago, and in that time i have been busy designing the car and doing the garage out. Had quite a bitt of work to do to get it all ready for the build. I sttarted the car about a month ago, scratch built, to my own design. Its a midi hench the tiny tunnel. Basically my water pipes and other bits and pieces will run through there, not a prop and gear box.

I am getting an Engine crane for Christmas, so hoping in January my engine will be in, in the rear of the car.

Storage space is behind the photographer, i have a second hand kitchen as a work bench, its pretty cool. Also storage under the table.

Happy Christmas every one.

Rob
