scottish garage

[Scottishross]

Brought the cabinet off Egay and I'm thinking about getting a bigger compresser just waiting to see how it goes

 

[mustangmike6996]

That is a creepy looking vacuum for the blast cabinet

 

[Scottishross]

How creepy

That's henrys brother ur slagging off

 

[Scottishross]

Picked up some wood and started to chop it up


Van



Before


After



Running out of space still got this lot to chop up ha ha

 

[Grizz1963]

Now that's what I need for a company car........ A van.

We also have a wood burning open fireplace in the lounge, so I always pick up wood, pallets etc. my local shed factory about 6 miles from here, sells massive plastic bags of pine and some oak, off cuts for £4.00 per bag, the bag takes about 2.5 of thise galvanised incinerator type bins worth of wood. It makes for a difficult one man carry, to give you an idea, so these days my kindling is pretty much easier to buy than scavenge, but logs I always pick up, and also buy 2x ton builders bags of copped/split Oak/silver Birch for £80.00 delivered and packed in my wood store.

 

[Scottishross]

£4 a bag is not bad

The guys in The States don't realise how much we have to pay for Snap On stuff here in the UK. Go on, make their eyes water and tell how much you had to pay for those… and not the price you tell the missus!
Garage is looking a treat. How's the motor coming on?

Sorry to jump back a few pages... But you should see what quality tools like that currently cost in my side of the hemispheres.

Awesome thread... Such a great workshop and a super legit car to boot. I was in the Uk many years back and was near Aberdeen in winter... holy **** its cold up there... Im sure that stove takes the nip out.

Keen to see how your addiction turns out with tools... its one junkie habit that's always fun to watch develop.

Woods drying Nicley

 

[Scottishross]

Not really done much to the garage since the kit cat arrived fingers crossed will get something done soon

 

[bazzateer]

You've changed your forum name Ross!?

 

[rmalkow2]

What is the kit car project? Street, race, both?

 

[Scottishross]

You've changed your forum name Ross!?

Yes a have mate

What is the kit car project? Street, race, both?

It's going to look like a caterham and it will be track and road legal

 

[rmalkow2]

Ah yes, based on the old Lotus 7. Light weight and wicked fast. Very cool project.

 

[Scottishross]

Thanks mate

It's going to be quick once it's finished ha ha

 

[Bib Overalls]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the old 7s had much help to offer in a rollover. Are those "wings" in the back fender mounts and collision protection? Looks like a car will have an aggressive look to it. Who provided the kit and what power plant will you be using?

 

[Scottishross]

Power plant Nissan skyline engine 2.5 single turbo

Power is going to be 300bhp ishh but the whole car will only weight 600kgs

 

[Scottishross]

Here's some up dated pics of the car at the moment

 

[dutchgray]

That will be an interesting driving experience then.

 

[rmalkow2]

Do you have the bodywork for it as well?

 

[Scottishross]

Do you have the bodywork for it as well?

Yes you can buy it in stages

It's darted about the garage ha ha

 

[jbmatth]

I have always like the Lotus 7 style cars, and with that skyline engine in there it should be an absolute blast to drive! Your cabinets have turned out great, I'd personally stain them, but the paint you have photoshoped looks pretty nice as well. I'll tag along for future updates on the car.

[Scottishross]

I haven't done much with the cabinets to be honest it's been up on the back burner

Sounds like my Model A Ford hot rod. Bits and pieces stored/stashed everywhere and I hope I can remember where to find them some day as they are needed.

you got a fun/fast project there.

That's brilliant, only just noticed the RB in there. Good work!

Nice workshop. I like your skyline. Do you have any more pictures of the skyline.

 

[Scottishross]
