My Ghia's new home!
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.

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

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!?

Hey Matt I liked the idea of one your big motor's in John's Ghia, I think you should work on that one Feb in Sydney
|
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!!!!!
