Added a small 2-part tyre rack! Now I can stow away my Spitfire wheels and the MGF alloys that will be going on my Spit when it’s finished :) I’d put it all the way across, but I’d have to get rid of my little plaque with badges on (the only thing that’s not there for pure function in the garage). I’ve got an Alfa badge, the BMW badge off the E36 that I pranged and then fixed and a Bertone badge of the little X1/9 that got hit by a tree.

I’ve also made another iteration of the shelf at the front of the garage with left-over shelves from household IKEA units. It’s got 4 levels now and a place for the wood blocks to cushion jacks and jack stands.

I’ve also come up with a clever plan for the overhead storage, but I’ll make a little sketch tomorrow and talk about it more then ;)

The rest of the garage is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! :)

You consistently do more with less space than I do. Though in my defense, having to keep things clear for other people’s access to Land Rover parts, the pullers, the gasket supplies, and so on added to the fact that the walls are cinder block means I don’t have a lot of wall space to make use of.

Thanks man :) cinder block walls would be an absolute bummer for me. I’d have to replace them with something a bit more substantial.

How’s the Ranchero coming along? I’ve been busy fixing the moderns and sorting garage storage so the Spitfire hasn’t got much attention recently...

Hah :) first time I’ve heard that said!

I’ve only got it this far by pure necessity. Too much junk to do work unless I got creative :)

I’ve got my radiators delivered, but I haven’t done the fender cutting for them or the folding up of mount plates for Range Rover electric fans yet. Two radiators, triple core aluminum models intended for use on a Kubota tractor singly - whereas I’ll have one per fender. I’ve got most pieces cut and sorted out for how I’m attaching the rear cab hoop, but that’s not welded in yet. Hopefully some time this week.

Cool :) looking forward to some updates.

The next dozen jobs for me are all wire-wheeling off rust, paint and clag from the chassis and underside of the body in preparation for welding them together. It’s really a tedious job :S

sigh... same. 2 car garage...full of stuff. I don’t know how it happened. I think tornado and black holes brought all the stuff in there.

Yeah they do tend to accumulate stuff at a frightening pace.

I’ve found that having shitloads of flat area is a real boon. Literally, anywhere there’s an inch of space stick a shelf and all of that random junk suddenly has a place to live while you decide if it’s worth keeping or not :)

I wish... I can’t even jump into my garage. Most used things live at the very edge of the garage door on some flat surface... like top of a portable air conditioner... or top of a tool box on top of a portable air conditioner

something like this....
