Wow, so much space to work in!!!

 

[Duncan Grier]

My additional garage should be available in the next 2 weeks and plan to bring rs3 rwd 5, race car and silver 5 in one place covid allowing movement of 2 of them

 

[Duncan Grier]

Wow, so much space to work in!!!

Cheers Steve. Big change from last property and certainly a big influence on purchase/relocation. Bit spoilt with the triple garage and workshop, separate tandam garage and large storage outhouse. However addition of extra garage just means current garage/workshop will be a big kitchen dinner in the next year or 2 lol

Look forward to you popping in once covid eases

Big enough to run and hide away from the family, bosh in a toilet, sink and TV, jobs a good un

 

[Duncan Grier]

Made a start @Adey fridge in there

Haven't you finished that little job yet? looking good. They are by far the best wheels for a 5 IMO. Cant wait to see you get stuck into the car.

 

[Duncan Grier]

So as the house restoration is about finished short of maybe a weeks effort. I moved car stuff around even got half a day on it BH Monday...

At the shame on my progress against the epic work and progress by @DaveL485 & @Chris74# and even my 7 year old son giving me a friendly nudge on how long it has been decided to find an hr a night

 

[Duncan Grier]

Door put up a real fight and so hinges got it! Even after getting pins out was fun after prior historic broken tools inside and full on seized....bit of drilling and glow in the dark heat treatment finally did the trick

 

[Duncan Grier]

The scale of fun ahead kept giving

 

[Duncan Grier]

Then tonight as planned got 90 mins and got fuel tank and reserve out, happy with rear mounting points and general rust/rot hiding.....a part of the car had to be ok I guess lol

 

[Duncan Grier]

Think with fuel tank out bit of a clear up tomorrow get spares in other garage and tackle the sill.

Test rested to make me feel its going to be straight forward lol

 

[andybond]

Progress again! I was wondering if this had been put to the back of the garage and forgotten about!

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

On the road again!!! Look forwards to this moving forwards again sir!!

 

[Duncan Grier]

Tbh it kind of had with work commitments and the saga of covid and boys at home etc. And all free time was never ending list of diy so to save getting murdered left rusty stuff alone

 

[DaveL485]

Looks like a rotbox - so normal than haha.

Here comes another thread of cut/weld/cut/weld ad infinitum

 

[Turbell]

All that fun to had, you lucky, lucky fecker...
Silver looks well on a GT.
I'm excited for you.....

 

[Duncan Grier]

So as planned trying to get an hr a day on it......alas yesterday non starter but squeezed 82mims in just

Pleasantly surprised it was not as bad as hoped, pics tell the postion and while inner needs some repair it does not travel to far
