Hello from Belgium!

[Peter H]

Hi, I'm Peter from Belgium. I'm in to offroading for about 20 years now.
About 4 years ago, I started with this...

Currently, we are here...

Car is finished, along with a roof to work under and a little shed to cover my tools. It's not much, but wit the strict building regulations in Belgium, its the maximum I can build. Even this is not entirely legal...

The little shed:

Specs of the car: Suzuki samurai LWB frame (reinforced) and front of body. Axles : Nissan Patrol Y60 with diff lock, engine and drive train: Mitsubishi 3 liter V6 (200 HP) , Fox shocks,....
So this 4x4 is for racing only and not road legal in Belgium, is has to be loaded on a trailer to go to the races. So the 2nd project was born...
A Iveco van fitted as a camper/RV to pull the trailer.

Next project is to reorganize the tool shed. That is how I landed here, to get some ideas on tool storage on very limited space....

Nice looking 4x4,, welcome to GJ. I lived in Brussels for a year on a project back in 1998, I miss the cobblestone streets, the beer & the chocolate.

We have indeed a lot of breweries, but I like more the stronger stuff from Scotland... And I live in the Flemisch speaking part of the country. (near Antwerp)

Hello and welcome to the forum from downunder, enjoy..

Peter: i liked the old Leinen vice you posted on the big vise thread and the story makes it even better. I really like your before and after pics of your off road beauty. WELL DONE SIR!!

there are plenty of ideas for storage and i understand your limitations because currently i've only got a 10x15 foot part of 2 car garage that i can call mine because my wife parks her car and has her stuff in the other half. so with all the Organizing methods the members have posted i decided to start an ORGANIZING 201 thread and since it just started not much on it yet, but here's a link and you'll see it grow (I hope) with more ideas besides just mine. i love the look of your carport and little shed under it and the Leinen looks great waiting to be used and not abused.

Bonjour Peter !

I am in Montreal. My mother is from Esneux.

 

[Peter H]

Got myself some new tools and a toolbox.

It was a little heavy to carry around, so I build a little car for it...

...with some space for my other tools:

Peter: you sir have skills. WELL DONE!!

cheers

My dad was born and raised in Terneuzen. Flemisch is a weird dialect of Dutch. Just kidding. Have some relatives in Ghent. Haven't been there in years. Too long a plane ride.
Nice work, nice workspace for a small area!!

A walkaround in my tiny shop...
