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.

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:

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

      That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
