Mine smells of gearbox oil at the moment. Something to do with the huge slick of the stuff in the middle of the floor. Job for the weekend I think

Mine has changed from grinder, fibreglass resin, 2k paint and now rubber.

G/box / Diff oil used to make me feel ill but now I quite like it.

would be slightly concerned at the smell of petrol in the garage, but gearbox and diff oil is always a welcome aroma





I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

my garage....

well it smells of a mixture of engine oil. clutch fluid and coolant.

this cos my rebuilt bike engine desided to spit the con rod out of the side of the engine at well lets say fast enough speed to chip my concrete floor.

oh and a hint of griner due to cutting up the lighting stand i made so i can use it to lift the engine out lol

Thanks

Fibreglass resin - just tried my first ever bit of fibreglassing. Fingers crossed!
