G'day from another from down under.

[TuffXR]

What a fantastic place this is. It has really stuck a nerve we me. I love some of the sheds on here.

I am From Melbourne way down the bottom. I don't have a shed like most of you guys on here but what i have does me fine for the time being.

It houses my current weekend toy, it is a late 1966 XR falcon, as well as my ever growing collection of eskys.

And this is my shed. It is a one and a half car garage, not that you can see it to well. That's me on the left with my very good friend Dave, who with out his help i would not have gotten half the work done on the car.

and my then 17 year old daughter hard at work finishing off the fuel line plumbing

Please forgive the green carpet that's now a thing of the past. I hope you find it of some interest to you all.
