That is a much better looking boot lid. You should get your money back off the guy you got the other one from :tease:

are you offering ? :tease:

nice drainage ditches  :tease:

the high tech run-off diversion devices do a good job of keeping the shed dry :D
they are not very pretty though :rolleyes:

looks like a nice collection down the emankment too.

nah thats nothing, there's only 3 in the background but I have another 26 :blink:

ohh, torana is looking good too.  :spoton:

wow. comprehensive answers there!!!!

nah, im no concreter, i did however dig the ditch 2ft deep 1ft wide and about 25 metres long for all the telephone and power cables to run to the shed. BY HAND! with a shovel. only took me one weekend.

we have a concreter we use all the time "super zoran" is his name. little old greek bloke. works at 100mph and gets things donw dam quick.

It looks like this is the powerplant going into the 2-door (guess the 186 and triples will be going back onto the parts shelf) - any suggestions on how I can keep the engineer happy with four wheel discs and still fit wheels inside the standard guards without a whole lot of hassle?

Yes it is a "T" the rest of it is safely tucked away.................

The RB30T in an LJ should have enough power to pull a priest off a choir boy.

worse thing was it tappered open towards the bottom..............


before...........

door off again for about the 100th time :rolleyes:

then remove all the spot welds from the bottom of the guard , stretch, bent , and move it back a tad and re-attach the bottom :spoton:

re-filled and re-undercoated , now its were it should be :spoton:
