Day 3 of the erection…effectively bar some small finishing we are now watertight and ready for sparkies…

Composite roof on, doors on, windows glazed…

A few twists and turns as a result of taking a standard kit and then adapting it..but very pleased in the outcome…

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

He left the door wide open and I can’t help but jump through, I was also thinking that there’s so much wood in the picture

I realised that the double entendre would inevitably create a degree of interest amongst what would be otherwise a fairly flaccid subject… :tumbleweed: :rofl:

After 5 years of waiting / struggling without such simple pleasures forgive the excitement…looking forward to a winter of rubbing myself up and down on my Yellow Peril in warm and dry and well lit conditions… :thumbsup:

Day 4 + 1…we finished on day 4..but it took most of day 5 to tidy up, enough sawdust to keep a wood burner going for a whole…pleased how it’s worked out..really wouldn’t want to have less than 6m by 4m external if you want to spend a lot of time pottering in your garage..

No excuses for not tackling most jobs now..

It’s clear now that a moveable scissor jack is the best option for working on this car, in this garage..
