Do you guys not have garages or anything over there? I would miss my space so much need to have room to work and store the collection of parts

A house with a decent size garage is expensive in the UK.

I have to rent my workshop but even finding a decent size workshop to rent for a good price is hard :thumbdown:

That is a nicely sized workshop there!
Ive got a garage almost as big as the rear section lol
You can get some wicked garages here as lots of buildings have garages designed for the old buses...

Just a quick mock up. Didn't get it finished unfortunately had quite a busy weekend even though I had Monday off. Won't have time this week to finish it either too much happening.

Haven't had a chance to do much lately but thought I would throw up some details.

Moved house which was a mission forgot how many tools and parts I had. Managed to get the Rollcage mostly mounted and rocksliders almost finished.
Got my new wheels spacers and stole the flatmates wheels for a laugh.

In pic is sitting on 35s simex extremes and they almost clear. I just hit my firewall at full lock but that's with a inverted front leafs.

The weather is Inproving now so I should get a lot more done in the coming months. Also brought a new road truck got myself a hilux surf for a tow wagon. Slowing doing some minor mods on that too
