It looks just about ready for the road.........
You need to go for a ride in someone elses' car to give you the kick up the barking spider to get you moving with the project.
Good luck.

Take it easy, clear out all the old junk and think about what you need to do next. A good clear working space works wonders - it did for me after a good clear up. I put all my tools into one of those big chests and threw out loads of crap.

Sometimes a spare pair of hands get you going as in find someone willing to help who may be intrested and with plenty of cups of tea.n laughs itll be done in no time.

Agreed a good clear out cleanses the mind

Yes, there is a car in there, hints are
- The Throttle body next to the Hand Saw handle
- The Diamond plate in the middle of the picture is the Shelf below the Scuttle.
- The Tire is in the Passenger space (I know, I know, Wrong side... HHHH)

Thanks to every body for your support.
IŽm away from home right now, but I will put your advise in practice once I get there...

Red chassis on it's side, all becomes clear now.

Get a nice friend over to help with the cleanup - or significant other if they are wanting space for themselves (hint). It is the only way to do it; otherwise you end up keeping all sorts of useless stuff that nobody would want at a garage sale. It will clear your mind and focus you. Good luck!!

That's about 90% complete by ebay standards isn't it?


Angel Acevedo - 11/3/19 at 04:19 PM

Trying to upload a picture I found this thread, 8 years later I found inspiration too.
So long has passed that I donŽt remember how to upload pics.
Ihave some uploaded to facebook.
Once I learn to resize pics IŽll upload some here to document process and help others.


Mr Whippy - 12/3/19 at 07:19 AM

hmm clear it out and then take a pic of how much car is really there

As Angel posted that photo in 2011 I really hope he has done that already!

Ha...
Sorry for the confusion..
40inches nailed the actual meaning of the post...
IŽll try to post pics in appropriate sections when I can have a play with resizer.
The mess was due to the garage being used as a family storage unit...
It is not as tidy as most shops depicted here, but it is a lot better than 8 years ago....

Did you rename the photos after resizing? Rename to one word followed by .jpeg
That usually works for me
