[tacker]

Ok far to embarrassed to be posting pic of the trailer so i thought i would get the last topic inthe this series of thread started.

[Roy]

Its convenient, my take with me everywhere workshop

[tacker]

makes ours look OTT thats for sure, but still spending most of my time in africa i see things like this every trip

[Duncan]

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

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 ....

[Duncan]

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.....

[tacker]

yep holding up the gear box would you believe this bloody engine has been out 6 times in the last 4 months. I can have the bloody thing out in 3 hours by myself these days

[Duncan]

hahah yeah same for us....too much practice. good to hear I'm not the only one with this much bad luck, sounds like everyone is in the same boat with these motors

[tacker]

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.

[screamin']

By day it's a service workshop for mine vehicles and the general public...

By night it's our rallycar workshop!

[Neil]

Here's what I work out of,,,It's a pain but unless I win lotto,,,thats it.

Neil.

[tacker]

hmmmm win lotto

[Duncan]

lotto wouldn't cover my plans

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 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?

[tacker]

gotta leave the whools on mate with that type. Good for doing alinements though

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

walls and doors on and in

Skyline in soakin up the rays

I could fit 6 cars in here easy!

No Lexus, It is not your kennel ext.

Stop crying on your brothers sholder

If you are thinking about the car on the shelf, top right:

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...
