Cobra should be another couple of weeks away.
|
And how happy are you?
|
how happy am I with what Dave?
building, all good, but taking longer than I'd hoped cobra, will be happy when its on stands in its place (shan't bother thinking for now about it being driveable) |
Mainly knowing it is not far away.
|
There was a problem with my Cobra body during construction, something to do with gel coat not coming out properly, so most of the body was scrapped and started again - that's ok, I'd rather wait a few more weeks and get a quality product! The car should now be about 2 weeks away.
Fitout on the man-room is progressing, plaster is now up, interior brick walls painted, cabling roughed in; http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0813-00133.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0813-00134.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0813-00135.jpg |
Looking good.
I like the exposed agg concrete. I've been thinking about it for my driveway. Cheers |
much more garage progress this weekend, plaster and painting finished, Racedeck is down, and Gladiator cabinets are installed with more on back order;
before; http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00161.jpg Racedeck unboxing; http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00162.jpg Racedeck installed, only took a couple of hours with some helpers; http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00168.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00169.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00172.jpg Gladiator cabinets and tool trolley, with benches and more cabinets on the way; http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00170.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00171.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00174.jpg Ready and waiting for Plasma... http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0828-00173.jpg |
looks like a shed run coming up
;) LB |
A regular Garage Mahal! Looks great Ben.
Are you still interested in borrowing my chassis trolley? Cheers |
You just added a lot of value to your house. Like the cabinets.
|
Wow, I want one!!!
|
Hey Ben, Looking fantastic, trust me.....your gonna need bench space, its amazing how much space you need for stripping refurbing painting, etc
Looks great, and feels great to work in when everythings at hand, well done. Dave |
thanks guys, it is turning out how I envisaged, which is a good thing.
Mike: I don't think so initially, but I might as the car build progresses, thanks again for the kind offer. Dave: I hear you, I am putting cabinets/bench the same width as those small cabinets you can see on the back wall, so will have 6x71cm = 4.26m of continous bench space, and probably another separate bench for drill-press, bench grinder etc. Lynch me now, but I even omitted the fridge in order to have more bench and cupboard space! |
Doing it again
Modena,
If I was doing it again I would allow for more storage and bench space. I have pulled apart the XC and have crap everywhere. It is amazing how much storage space you need for 1 car. Your garage looks really nice Modena, just a hint dont do the body work in it, its the bog dust, it goes everywhere and nothing is clean ever again. Found that out last week :confused::confused: STIFFY |
I have no intention of doing sanding and bogging myself!
|
Looks excellent Ben. I'll definitely be looking out for the shed run.
I like the flooring - racedeck? - i'll have to suss that out. (FYI, my shed progress has been slow over winter - although I did buy FIVE sheds last month when I bought a farm up in Mansfield. Maybe I should put that up for a shed run weekend?) |
the sparky came today and hooked up light and power;

starting to make organisational progress now;
http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0904-00199.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0904-00200.jpg |
the rest of the Gladiator cabinets are now in, and the rack (far left corner) is built (I'm an IT geek - the rack holds amp, shed-computer and other IT stuff)
http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0918-00225.jpg http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0918-00226.jpg the benchtops are Gladiator, made for those cabinets. They are sealed MDF, quite nice. I wouldn't want to weld on them, or smash it with a hammer, but for general purpose they're nice. http://bencobra.files.wordpress.com/...0918-00227.jpg |
Looks fantastic.
All you need now is your Cobra. Is it far off? Phil |
