Hello Everyone
For a couple of months now I am reading your lovely forum.
Every time I was here I wanted to register and introduce myself but I kept on reading and reading and reading until my available time was gone and I never came to it.
But let me introduce myself now. Originally I come from the island of Crete but for family reasons I moved to The Netherlands in 97. Ever since I was a kid (that’s a long long time ago) I was playing with tools and all kinds of technical things as my father was a car mechanic so I eventually got addicted and became rustoholic mainly tinkering old cars and motorcycles. In the process I collected hundreds of tools and machines
Back home I had lots of space to work but here where I live now the area is overpopulated so houses with a garage are rear. Our house came with a small bike shed ( 9,5 x 7,5 ft ) and after long discussions with my lady I extended it another 7,5 x7,5 ft so the bikes moved out to the extension and I took over the shed and made a small workshop. Three years ago I got a 48 Chevy Fleetmaster project car but there was no garage available near so I rented a part of a barn some 25 miles away. There I had all the space I needed so mechanical work and a new interior was done. After one and a half year and an estimate of some 6000 miles the car was ready to drive again and also I was lucky finding a garage to rent here in town. The Fleetmaster just fits in but many things stayed *homeless* and I had to take them home and now my shed is completely filled up to the roof.

so I made her a complete interior from raw 50s materials by myself at a cost of approx $350
