Thanks for sorting out the photos...

Just a quick touch-up often gets out of hand very quickly doesn't it..


I wish I had that much room to work on my escort...[:I]

Peter, I envy your garage space and admire your commitment to originality but I'm a bit worried that your "dolly" is a bit under-engineered.Aren't you worried that it might not be robust enough?

Seriously, well done. There should be more posts like this to inspire weaklings like me.

The factory is a luxury that is a consolation of attempting to expand my small engineering business over the past 15 years.

Unfortunately the engineering industry and manufacturing as a whole in Australia has imploded. The result is an expensive elephant which soon must be sold off, if I don't get really smart really quickly!



what kind of engineering do you do if ya dont mind me asking? just asking out of interest as im a aprentice fitter and turner

Wow a very impressive amount of work.

How did you strip the old paint off? Wire brush or paint stripper?

The tranny tunnel... has it been replaced and what's the reason for not stripping that too?

You're a lucky stiff Peter. I am not game to scrape the underseal off the car I bought recently. It's the only thing separating my feet from the roadway.
