I bought a derelict garage in Wales. Thinking time...

That cut down door is shocking, the piece riveted on should be inside the door with the bottom of the leaves left longer, folded round and welded to it. Not the quickest job to do but looks a lot better.

I would be tempted to at least try refitting the infill panel inside the door as it does look like a water trap.

As well as insulation in it there should be at least a couple of strengthening ribs running the length of the door, the bottom of these will need cutting back so the panel can fit in.

And the threshold is normally welded or bolted on, not supplied separate.

I had first iteration of an R11 - still probably my favourite car, although time probably installs rose-tinted glasses. A turbo, especially after Mr Ragnotti's exploits in rallies, was an as yet unrequited desire.

If you do get a 9" angry grinder, please be careful. They are dangerous, my roofer was in the Makita safety manual as an example as to why you don't take the gaurd off (cut from his wrist to shoulder, skipping major arterys! Sliced his bicep down the middle!). Mate had same thing but a bit less severe.

I might be guilty of using a 4"one without the guard from time to time but my 9" one is pretty scary, if your not holding on tight just turning it on will rip it out of your hand, definitely need to hold on tight and always use the guard.

That said it's been incredibly usefull over the years.

For maximum giggles make sure it is petrol and use it indoors in a sealed room to stop the dust spreading.....

Why you wear safety glasses even for the smallest of jobs

I'm pretty deaf and my eyesight isn't great so now always wear safety glasses and ear defenders even if only drilling or grinding for 30 seconds.

Being young you think loud tools/music/cars can't harm you, but it all takes its toll. Anyone for tinnitus?

I was a little flippant with eye wear doing small quick jobs until my son came home from work with the glasses in the picture above.... and a cut to his eye brow. Seconds before he’d been grinding and flipped those glasses down off his head for the disc to then shatter milliseconds later
Now I always reach for either the goggles or glasses even on the small tasks

The other thing to check is the discs themselves. They should be stored in a stable temperature and according to industry training the discs should be removed from the machine and hung or case stored, they never are!
There will be a date stamped on the shiny bit the machine spindle goes through and only use the correct type of disc for the job.
old or abused discs can shatter when the bonding resin gets over age or the disc is used improperly such as twisting a cutting disc etc.

Great work, i'm watching with interest
