Wow! Awesome new space that shed. Good job.
And that front end is just so pretty. Nearly a shame to cover it up with some wheels.

spent the day cleaning and building new benches, arranging new, old, to be refurbished, falcon, suzuki and other car parts or toys etc into a logical probably never to be found again spots.
then off the trailer ready to be rotated tomorrow


and look how bad fitting these rear arches are, time for some new ones I think, I have to butcher them to repair the rear 1/4 lowers anyway.

OOPS got a bit pull-it-apart happy

bit of diff clearancing, will probably just box the tank platform in rather than reshape it all with one piece
cut, ground and trimmed plenty of little bits and pieces then

ahhh more big holes

actually not that bad but now is the time to fix the rear arches for good about 45mm further back and a lot less rotated around the wheel like before

started on the tank platform and diff clearance. Rather than two pieces of metal Im option for one boot floor and tank platform in one.
managed to lower the tank height by about 20mm over where it was previously.


and trying to arrange the new pumps, tanks, mounts and brackets.

Neat solution with the diff clearance and platform in one.

Not a lot to report today, spent it on maintenance on the subazuki!
But cut more and bigger holes in the escort'


and removed the last of the original paint from the 'A' pillar as this is the first time the doors have been off since it was built
