teens garage

[simontudor]

Hey guys and girls, i am a 16year old who has just started a career in building. I have been around tools and mechanics all my life(grandfather auto mechanic and father hobby woodworker), well a year or so back my dad was sick of me making a mess in his shop so he decided it would be a good idea for him to make me one.

It's not much yet but I will get there one day

 

[keduner]

Sounds like you started young, congratulations. Great dad for helping with a nice kick start too. Keep up the good work.

Not much has been happening as I have been so busy with work etc.
Today I got out and built a shelf as one thing has changed I have gotten 100times messier...

As you can see it is messier than before....

[johnnybentwrench]

It's gotta get messier before it gets organized

 

[Topcat]

Nice work Simon, messy's good mate - it's a sign of use!!

Aussie here to!

 

[GirlnAgarage]

What a great space you have there. Interested in seeing how you work with the brick walls. I never worked with it, always had drywall to put stuff on. So anyoe working with bricks walls gets some respect.

What kind of Hilux you getting? Diesel or gas? Grey market I assume?

 

[simontudor]

I scrapped the Hilux and ended up getting a Holden Gemini which I am currently restoring until I can find a decent Lux

Cool - keep us posted on your progress.

You seem like a pretty grounded fella. Can't wait to see your progress


BTW, we got a speeding ticket last time we were in Sydney, apparently our rental car was caught on a speed camera. Think you could take care of that for us?

lol jk, we fixed that. But someone else drove our car.

 

[simontudor]

Nice work Simon, messy's good mate - it's a sign of use!!

[D.J.]

Nice looking Toyota Celica Supra in photo #24. I had a 1980 Celica but wasn't a Supra, back in the day. Keep up the good work!

[simontudor]

G'day Nick,

Cheers Simon.

 

[Thedoc14]

Where in Oz are you?

 

[simontudor]

Ah yeah nice! I am in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, how about yourself?

 

[Thedoc14]

Judging by the scrub around you, we may be in the same area.
Are you near Hursbridge, Panton Hill, Eltham area.

Your backyard looks like mine.hahahaha. Im in Panton Hill. I have sen a Kombi in the area all tarped up.. May be its yours. ????

That car looks very similar to a British Vauxhall Chevette, what engine is in it?

http://www.chevettes.com/showroom.php?section=va&page=1

Mr Clarkson telling the story of how the Brits actually invented hot hatches rather than VW

 

[simontudor]

Basically the same car, but over here it was manufactured under Holden and Isuzu, the engine in it from stock was an Isuzu 1.6ltr, but now has a 3.8ltr L67 in it
