Sounds like a great trip- Albany and Denmark are two of my favorite places (nice wine down there too!) and you can't go past Margaret River either. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1/2 Cup, the engine & subframe look brilliant, clocked fasteners or not. Your scotch is well deserved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, Summer has finally taken over again, and after a full morning at the surf club in 38C heat, all I can manage today is some more sketching. I've given up on pencil and paper and resorted to Sketchup: I've sketched in some cabinets and bench space, but left the floor to the left free for...

Fantastic effort & great result! Bench looks good too.

I agree 100%! Wall looks good to me and that little shed may be just the answer I'm looking for at my place. Love your work Dr B! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, tjdux and Cris, for those ideas - I can already see that putting this post up was worthwhile! In terms of storage elsewhere, a shed in the backyard will solve some of it, but the bikes and bike rack really need to be accessible at the front of the house - we use them a lot and they'll...

OK, now onto the garage part of the mini garage. The first goal is to create a space where I can productively work on the mini, with two kids (6 and 9 year old) helping whenever possible, without getting frustrated to the point where I starting hitting things with hammers. When I first did up...

I think Australian is pretty close to English! Depends what type of Australian.... Looking good!

Thanks 1/2, I would love a genuine Cooper S but they go for big bucks these days! When did you say goodbye to yours? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Sean, I do have room for a small shed out the back, but more on that later. The mini is a 1971 Mini K 1100, which is a model unique to Australia. 1971 was the last year of roundnose minis in Australia and mine has clubman doors (from the next model with a square nose) which means it must...

Many thanks 1/2 :thumbup:, yours is one of the threads I have been following, and I remember you saying something about your mini history! I will post something on the Mini a bit later on.

OK. Normally in Perth at this time of the year it's really hot - 35-40C is common, just like over east right now. But here, we had the second wettest day on record a couple of days ago and it's still cool today. Good weather for cleaning up the garage! It's still small, dark and cluttered, but...

Hi all, I signed up for GJ a year ago but have just been a dedicated lurker ever since. But inspiration levels are up at the moment so it's time to start my own thread. Firstly, the current state - I have a 1 (small) car garage under my house. We're lucky to even have this as many houses in the...
