Well, at last managed to pull "the unit" out of the jag. I am so glad I got the engine leveler as other wise this job really would have been a bit of a pain. Battery impact driver made short work of the adjustments. Now just to fit the new gear box and return it all.

110nm (85lb ft) according to the spec sheet. I have got a couple of proper air guns for any big jobs. I got this for all the smaller jobs that are just made easer with these lighter guns.

3/8 drive and so far very pleased with its bit of use, almost small enough to get into all the places you need. I can see this being a go too tool.

19X19 with a 11ft ceiling part insulated, with insulated garage door. Got central heating rad's in there running off the house system. It normally sits about 16c (60F). Even when it was -3c outside it still maintained the 15 to 16c. I am very please with it, but a bit reluctant to open the...

No relation. However all my cars do have said teddy on the back ;) if the SNP had not dropped the drink drive limit then that could have been a option for breakfast.

I have my one attached to a set of draws across the garage from the main work bench, was not quite enough space mainly dude to the cupboards above it. Really quite like having it on its own means any bits from the drilling don't end up on the work bench.

I did have one, but only got a X308 at the moment... BUT I am half looking for X300 XJR.

Started to clean up the cam covers... that is a long and messy task. Not quite finished the first one but getting there. Any tips to how to keep them looking good?

Well that is the floor all grouted and finished, have done a few small jobs in there so far and I have to say that having a warm dry draft free garage to work in is just so much nicer. Any way the first proper project has now been started. To fit this Into the old Jag. Engine and gearbox...

http://www.garagedoorseals.co.uk/c-garage_door_top_seal.htm I would have a look for something like this on your side of the water... I have something like this on my garage door and it is totally draft proof :)

Thrown into a draw in the tool chest and I rummage about for the right size each and every time I need one. :)

oh yes don't worry I have been looking at these :) I have to say this form has pushed me down a very slippery slope

Got a Drill Press, I was debating if I would actually use it much. Had it 2 days now and yes now know it was a good buy. A engine leveler, as got to pull the engine and gearbox out of a car soon. And as it was the VAT free day treated my self to a new impact too :)

you are making good progress, I was worried for your build when I spotted it was sans door with the winds due this week. I was made up when after buying the new place spotted that the garage door was insulated :) it also has seals round all the edges which are so good that even with the wind...

My attached garage is the same size as yours, and has a 10ft high ceiling, walls are not insulated but are "dry-walled". There was a noticeable improvement in temp when I insulated the roof. So I would start with this first if you can. I have a single radiator in there linked into the house...

One more addition to the armory. Only a baby one but will be handy as hell when needed... I hope.

After buying a few cheep own brand drills and killing these quite quick, I got a Makita drill about 8 years ago. I have been buying Makita kit since then. I also upgraded to the LXT range of tools a few weeks back love the fact the 18v is lighter than my old 14.4v stuff. So I would happily...

Totally, this is a very practical solution, and what I have done. It works well and so far has been easy to keep clean.
