After about 7 years under a carport my Ghia has finally got a proper home! I'm looking forward to fitting it out so I can work on the car without being eaten by mosquitoes!
I just need to get the drive way low-car friendly.

ah cool. how much did that set u back?
blue vizion ·
All up not much under $20K. There was a fair bit of prep work and I have had an extra 6m x 6m slab poured at the back for a roof only section. I'm very happy with the result. There is a list of things I have been wanting to do the car and now have a good space to work in. Before this all I had was a 6m x 3m garden shed to store all my stuff in. Not good!

I recon he did, some thing like that would cost twice or more otherwise.
My uncle got quoted 18k for a 6x8? shed extension with no concrete, doors, window or gutters.
he did the whole thing including everything for 4500 buks and the most expensive part was a custom gutter @ $600 😂
and guess what? his shed turned out better than any contracted shed building work I have seen 🤪

Nice shed design, simple but effective. 👍👍
vwsteve ·
looks like some room for another one there😎
OZ Towdster ·
Nice height too , would be close to fitting a hoist in there
h ·
so.. did you DIY? or had a crew in?
when is the christening bbq n beers 😉
matberry ·
Yeah John.....whens the shed party.......❓
blue vizion ·
Not a DIY. All I did was design it. A local mob who are happy to take on custom designs built it. Yes there is probably room for a hoist however I'm going with a mezzanine. There is a 6m x 6m slab at the back which I will construct a roof only section on to do any dusty work. The aim is to keep the shed dust and clutter free! Room for another project - never say never!?
blue vizion ·
As for the cost I had quotes that ranged from $20k to $40k!
vassy66T1 ·
$20K is good value for that.

really awesome! and I've seen your car before in random online pics... it's one of my faves :]

hi John, yep nice shed, agree with all above comments, hoist, dust free, no clutter, (yea I bet!!) mezz floor, and shed warming party!!! Count me in, my Ghia needs a good run.
And don't forget the big VW sign next to the light.....

Hey John
That sheds a bit arty farty, theres room fora Mona Lisa on the back wall
When do the shelfs arrive for all the rare spares
So who have you consigned for the NEW project ???
Doug Sweetman ·
Like, like like - very nice 🙂
matberry ·
WE WANT MORE 🙂
blue vizion ·
Dave, i built it high enough so that Mona has room to swing from the pole in the centre and the shelves are under construction!

Sure I'm in anytime Mike, but you know it takes more than polish to fit a big donk.
Do you think he'd like the 3.0 liter FAT.....we may need to trim some rear sheet metal.....oh......and cut some holes for the sump and ...................not sure about our chances!!!!!🤪🤪

U blokes r fn funny!
I'm changing the drums to disks so I can safely stop the so called '1600' that you built MW!! If There was MB motor in the back I would be needing to change the jocks regularly as well!!
vw54 ·
