Just don't get attached, because then you'll have to buy another and we all know how that goes. I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  I wont get attached  Damn it... |

Called it. Probably the first time I've seen flake and drab olive together, it works surprisingly well.

for an even further twist , you could have done the lacing in dpm colours... the ultimate "glamouflage" scheme.
glad to see you aren't attached though.

The more I look at my roof, the better I like the idea of lacing it. I love that one.
Just got to make my mind up as to dark silver base with Epsom green on top or vice versa.

Nowt as yet,
Currently building another small vehicle for RRG18
I'll get back into the garage this winter and crack on (i'm a sucker for the cold, keeps me fresh)
MOT runs out mid Dec on the GS300, so i'll tear it apart then, shame really, as its a cracking vehicle

He's probably been too busy playing with that GS300 he's not attached to.

If you’re looking to free up space and add to the garage fund, give me a shout

Hey! Remember this  It's now this. After lots of inner arch repairing and making random little plates up   Now my mojo is restored i'll tackle the inner arches in the boot area. I've decided to completly cut them out and make my own, giving her a small 'tub' whilst i'm at it. I also spent many pennies on wiring stuffs, no real progress as yet as i'm waiting for it to arrive, but I did do this to fit this   So, that's where I'm at really. My garage is tiny for this car, so I'm wanting to get the wiring done enough to start her so I can move her outside to work |

And what, exactly, is that little doohickey for?
Nice work on the rear floor. It’s a swine to work on. As we discussed a while back, bigger tyres at the rear would need some form of arch widening, so doing a bit of tubbing as part of the general repair work is a really good idea.
Have you got a desired wheel/tyre size to work from?

You can just make out the starter solinoid underneath the hole. That's the main feed from the battery.
This will allow me to take that feed through the bulkhead so all the wiring will be behind the dash instead of under the bonnet as per usual.
Just planning ahead on making it look cleaner for when I get another GS300 I wont get attached to :/
No idea on wheels yet, either band these or change them for summat else, who knows!

I did something! My garage is far too small for this car, I have about 50 cm down one side to do anything.  I opened the boot and started to look at the welding and panel creation needed in there. The inner arches are none existant and the repair panels come to £640  So I closed the boot and did this instead     2.5 inches |
