Just added the SGS bottom box, I've now got some empty drawers now to fill. I really wanted the Halfords bottom box, but they changed the design about a year ago and the new ones are nowhere near as good.

I got one from Ebay for about £17, used it 3 times so far in 3 months, I probably won't use it again for about 5 years but really good to use and did the job far better than other methods. Like you say quality seems OK for occasional home use which is all mine will get.

Yep, went out on Christmas Eve to my local Detailing shop and bought 3 HexLogic pads in Blue, Green and Orange for the DA, used them yesterday so Happy Christmas me.

Detailed my mates Audi A3, a favour promised from earlier in the year. It was swirled to hell on the bonnet but we got there.

Fixed the *** lighter in my A4 this afternoon.

Been painting metal cabinets this week using Rustoleum satin on a 4" gloss roller, doors are gentian blue and the cases light grey. Got floor tiles coming on Thursday so need to get them finished and dried before then.

The main difference is the age of the instrument, the 87 pictured is a much earlier design, and the 'V' the mk 5 version, they also did a 187 and now the current version is a 287. I'm a metrologist specialising in electronic calibration and we still see loads of these meters each week coming...

Never for nearly 30 years, spent last summer/autumn building a 2 car garage, so both cars now live inside. Used to use a car cover for the classic for the winter months, no need now :D

Spent the last couple of days getting power into my new build. I've had the armoured cable already in for a month or so but it didn't go anywhere,so I've been using a very long extension lead. Fitted 9, 5ft tubes on Monday, the controller for the door yesterday and the comsumer unit today and a...

Cleared half the floor and started sealing with PVA/water, second coat tomorrow morning, then shift everything over to do the otherside later in the afternoon. Hopefully there shouldn't be anymore dust.

Put a second coat on the walls and painted the RSJ in my new build.

A great looking build, I've just got my new garage watertight and like you did a lot of it myself with help from friends, (apart from the base and bricking) and the feeling is fantastic when you stand back and look at it and think 'I did that'.

Nearing completion on my new garage build so : In - Got the RSJ delivered so lifted that into place. Out - fitted the facia boards and guttering.

Hi, I've been lurking on and off for a few years now and finally signed up (no more adverts - woo hoo). I live in the UK, west London area and am half way through a 2 car garage build, so I'll be looking for inspiration for kitting it out. Dave.
