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.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Could be worse here's the state of my kit.

Here's where I have to work in.

And here's the funds I have to continue with it.

Yeah you see them pictures right.

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.
I´m away from home right now, but I will put your advise in practice once I get there...

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?





You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

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

Ha...
Sorry for the confusion..
40inches nailed the actual meaning of the post...
I´ll 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
