All my tools are in the dining room, but I can't get the car through the patio doors.

Yup, right at the bottom. The garage is the whole width of the garden and about 20ft long.

That's my mini estate, although it's currently being used as a garden shed. Only (garden) shed I know of with a rollcage bolted into it.

It will be getting a new floor, interior and an engine....when the garage it built

The plans I've got for when this 'kin garage is built. I just hope I can still be arsed to do the jobs on the cars when it's done.

Things are good at sheepspeed HQ, but the only problem is it's 1 hours drive from home. Here is the canteen

here is Endaf and Lloyd (the sheepspeed interior designers) at work)

here is the workshop starting to fill up with cars

and here is our emergency cabinet, (thanks to Captain Planet for his help with this!)
Got more photo's somehwere. Glad that the tigs back from his trip from the repair shop (After 4 bloody months!!!) The compressors up and running, but the lathe still has now power, we need a phase converter, anyone know anything about single to 3 phase converters?

Lol at the emergency cabinet. I need one of those.

It just gets better. Had a poke round the racing green last night and the shell has deteriorated more quickly that I expected (it was probably worse than I realised to start with)

Daren't risk it on a trackday, so I need to get my thumb out of my arse and take my old estate bodyshell to a friend to get the bodywork done.

That car is the rightful home of my 8 port engine - time to get it back on the road :)

Hi Feeb

Tried it on 7x10 spectrums/hoosiers which were good round cadwell but never thought it looked right on 10's

I thought it looked best on 6x13 superlights

(By the way, I was going round the outside of the other car - really I was :p)

It handles best on these though
