Cheers Geof. We're a bit short on elbow room I agree, but it's only temporary!

Hey that looks exactly like the home garage I bought my part done kit from! Well almost, there was more head room for the body to be slung from the rafters!!
Congrats and happy building!

Thanks Slowy. The "garage" is without power or windows - it's going to be a little oven in summer. At least it will give the resin a chance to settle!

Supercheap here we come........
SAMBO,
I know the feeling (just a couple of weeks ago for me)
Its all hard work now, lets organise a shed run in the not to distant future,
I might bring my own chair as room is bit tight in the garage 
There isn't even enough room for a fridge  That means the build shouldn't take that long.....
A BET, LETS START A SWEEP TO SEE WHO FINISHES FIRST, YOUR COBRA OR THE DAYTONA,,,,,,,,,,

Stiffy, I fear that your budget is bigger than mine (what with a Daytona in the wings) whereas I need about 12 months to save for the engine alone. Anyway you're more than welcome to drop in Sunday, PM me and I'll give you the address - impromptu BBQ. And don't fear, there's a bar fridge in the external laundry to the left of that photo... all under control. |

Well there it is sitting in the garage - just waiting for you to get started.
The fun begins. Enjoy your build.

Thanks Bernie. I've asked Todd to "borrow" your Cobra and provide us with some motorvation during the build process. Hope that's ok with you. |

Paul,
Feels great doesn't it, to finally have it in the shed/garage...
You probably won't read this until much later when you venture back into the house still trying to figure out what to do first??? 
Hope it goes well for you
Mick

Racing
TODD,
At least mine was on a track, not out the front of my house
I think you reduced the value of my property with that effort

Sambo,
Your gonna love the build. Half the fun is losing knuckles, so save up and go an bug a jar full. You'll need em :-)
Oh and while your there, buy a bib :-) When I got my chassis quite a few guys here said that !! And it does catch the dribble from the brooom broooom noises that you'll will make.
Congrats

Yeah I'm pumped Craig, but I had to rush straight back to work so it was short lived. My g/f said I looked like a little boy dragging himself out of the lolly shop!
First stop... VT Commodore brake conversion. The booster and pedals are ready to go. |

Perhaps Sambo you need to do what I did, turned a 3 car carport and workshop into one large garage.
Mind you I did this whilst researching my cobra build (thinking how the hell was I going to afford it / convince the wife), all on the pretext of needing an enclosed area to continue all year round yacht repairs!
But I suppose you've now run out of time to pre-prepare anyway!
Hope you can open the doors!
Cheers
