Well, a bit more clearing, and I was close to getting my motor in! Little bit of time later, and i was ready for driving it in! The way things are now is not final, this is just to see what space I can use with the car in the garage. Its a bit tight!!! But it does fit!! So... Tommorrow...

Anyone know the best way to prep breezeblock and red-brick for paint? At the moment, if I paint them they will look pretty un-even and rough! Any ideas would be great, I would quite like to get a nice flat looking wall, without losing any width (so that takes away the option of...
