I agree. When shops shut down they pretty much just have to sell off the lot of what they have. Pallet racks are great if you have the room. They are pretty much bullet-proof!

I stand corrected. Bullet-proof, maybe. Stupid proof, no.

Well eventually I have managed to upload a pic.

Please excuse the mess, I have not long since installed the cool room panel mezzanine above the workshop.

Gav, mate, that's obviously an LS workshop, not a Windsor workshop

Is that because there are no broken engine parts on the bench?

Broken? No, don't follow the logic. We Ford guys strip down a Windsor and a Toploader and put it back together blindfolded before dinner just for a bit of practice.
It's like the old "piston-barrel-butt-body-bipod"....

Cheers,
Glen

I have to admire the devotion of Ford fans.
I can't rebuild an engine or gear box blind folded, I don't do it often enough

All jokes aside, how is your build coming along Glen?

Hi Gav,
Yes, jokes aside, it is progressing well.
Updates from Craig yesterday, so I have just now added them to the build thread
AP2289 build log

Thanks for asking
Cheers,
Glen
