Lucky to have a barn to convert but you have to admit the rest is down to graft.

Used the jacking beam on the ramp for the first time this evening.

Needed about 250ml of oil added to it and thrown across the floor to make it work.

What an epic bit of kit.

Both front bays are now insulated and boarded out.

Liking the 'paint the walls white' idea.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Painting the walls white will be a massive help! It will throw the light right around the room, just take a bit of time every now and then to wash them all down so paint with a gloss. In my work workshop the walls and ceiling are painted bright white, not that you can tell cos of grinding dust -  but I cant imagine how dingy it would be without them painted.  :smiley:

The booth down our workshop is White and it helps loads. Makes it feel a shedload lighter and a happy place to be. Once the time is right the floor is getting a layer of Lino to brighten it up!

Mike finally sorted his clutch slave cylinder last weekend and got his heart into trouble with his head.

The Polizei bus is off to Devon.  While we are as far down as Exeter I figured we should pick up something someone's been talking about for ages, so we're bringing back a mystery vehicle to be added to the collection.  :lipsrsealed:

Chuff, button it  :tongue:

Well Mike671 on here is one of the unit sharers and he's a VAG tech.
