Small update, haven't done too much on the garage lately, as I've been busy on my minitruck project. I've done a couple of videos since last updating this thread: Latest one, a full reassembly (timelapse) in the garage: Previous one: firewall fabrication:

awesome! yeah wellington is great, i love it here. its the "coolest little capital in the world" according to lonely planet :D

Buzz Lightyear, I'm in Wellington. Ronny, those look like some fun toys! :D

that's a good idea but due to the ceiling and roller door heights in my garage, there's very little space there for me. im happy with my storage space now that i've finished the shelving in the back room, so its all good :) thanks i don't know what i've got, as i was given it, but i think...

thanks! still a lot to do, but its getting more functional. I've used the new table for fabricating and I'm loving having a proper place to work. The garage and new tools feature heavily in my latest minitruck build video, if anyone wants to see it...

awesome work, you've put some really good ideas into this garage

thanks guys :) Ok I've been busy and have finally got a tig welder and other required accessories, and have built myself a welding table/bench. After seriously over-thinking and over-engineering my plans, I slept on it and woke up and realised I should taper my plans back a bit (and delete my...

thanks :) yeah that build is cool! i seen it a while back on build-threads.com, they did a really good job of building the truck i think it just looks bigger in pics haha it is very small. there's some links on page one of the thread, but here's a new one from just recently when it was...

thanks. i need to get back into building it once these projects are out of the way :) i added some paint today. i wasn't sure on colour so just went for a semi-gloss black; im fairly happy with it. tomorrow (weather permitting...) the welder trolley gets the same treatment. in other news...

i've built a 'mobile' bench grinder and drop saw stand, with power to use for grinders etc (i HATE having leads everywhere and always needing to swap plugs while working). will be painted when im finished/happy with it. pretty basic attachment of bench grinder, but the rail design allows...

just want to say im loving this thread. your work is fantastic and its awesome your kid gets involved too. sorry to hear about your truck issues, but from what i can see, from you fixing things properly (or how the factory 'should' have done it), it should give you many years more service than...

have you priced up having the concrete ground down to be flat and level? its not cheap, but you don't have the worry of adding something and it cracking later on down the track. also you won't lose any ceiling height. then maybe try to negotiate a deal with the concreter/contractor to cover some...

Ok time for an update. Firstly, the plan... Here are the areas I want to address in my garage: Finish mig welder trolley (other mods? paint) Finish new overhead shelving at back of garage Build stand/trolley for bench grinder and drop saw Move grey shelving to storage room and replace with work...

other than the video/thread links above, i set up a website for the build: www.pimppalacecustoms.com and there's some more recent pictures on the facebook album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.191857070848454.50579.191204617580366&type=3 Back to the garage, I got a lot done today...

sneakyfast, we don't get those cars here but ive been in a few mitsubishi lancer evolutions, which are very common here and have the same driveline as your car i believe. they're very fast and fun cars. Jack, thanks for the tips, you've given me some ideas now for a better layout, as i do need...
