According to my local planning office,I could build it as big as I want,as long as it doesn't take up more than half the garden.Only limiting factor is the cost(isn't it always!).I could maybe get an extra two or three feet on the depth though.Only problem is that I have a derelict cottage in front of where the new workshop will go.I cant knock it down until the new workshop is built as the power to it feeds my current workshop which I need for work.
Hi Mark, interesting development to say the least. Problem now is do you work on the new garage, or the A? Tough shout, get the A done first, then you can build the garage and still have fun driving the A!
Corn coupe Mark,you'll be entitled to a V.H.R.A. discount too! Trad V8 I'll be working on both Dougie.I'm keeping the existing workshop so I can carry on with work.Original plan was to convert the old cottage into the new workshop but,as you've seen,it's in a pretty bad state.Bits are starting to fall off it!Don't know if you noticed when you were here last but,there's a sizeable bit of land in front of it which is currently dead space which can be put to better use.The cost of repairing the roof alone is not far off the cost of a new building.Should get a few quid back on the slate,timbers,stone and bricks as well with a bit of luck. Cheers, Mark.
Mark, i`ve just read the full post...awesome work man,Sounds like a good score on the extra land if it comes off......glad to see the lights looking so good on the car.... later, Nige.
Emperor Chris Thanks Chris,glad you like some of the ideas. Reefer Cheers Nige.I take it you didn't get to the Hayride either! I love the lights,one of my favourite bits on the car. The land thing will be good if it comes off o.k.I got accidently tipped off by the developers themselves.Whilst talking to their company director,one of the bimbos who is allegedly one of his legal team,leaned out of his car and asked me,"Do you know who that land belongs to?" I nearly pissed myself and replied,"Me". Company director told her to "Get back in the car and shut the fuck up!"LOL
Re the land,bastards apparently now have the deeds!At least my new fence will be cheaper!No worries ,I still have other issues to screw them up with.
Mark, I'm not a front fender man at all, but those brackets are some of the nicest I have seen, good job....
Me neither but,unfortunately they're a legal requirement over here.Hopefully they'll look like they're supposed to be there rather than an add-on when finished.Glad you like them,thanks.Just hope they hold up on the road!
Thanks man!There won't be many up-dates for a while due to weather and garage build.Hopefully it won't be too long until I get back on it though.
Mark, simple and awesome. Aprovecho y te envío Felcidades! And happy new year! Chuliano. http://elforcito37.wordpress.com/
Thanks Chuliano.Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year too. I'm just waiting for the weather to get better so I can finish my garage and get back to work on the car. Cheers, Mark.
Hey Mark, I really enjoyed speaking with you on the phone this morning, I know how it is having to hold off on the hot rod, "I know it's driving you mad" once you get the remodel complete and momma is happy then maybe you can give us some updates. Cheers mate
Hey Gary! Likewise,it was great to talk to you at last.Lets hope we do it again soon. Yep,it's driving me nuts,can't wait to get back on it.Hopefully it shouldn't be too long before more updates. Good luck for Friday,hope all goes well. Cheers, Mark.
Sorry,not just yet.Been busy with work,still got builders working on the house and still trying to find time to build a new garage. Oh yeah,and my new grandson arrived two weeks ago today! His name is Riley Jacob Harrison.My son got the name 'Riley' from a valve cover in my workshop!
I am getting a real kick out of reading what these European dudes are saying to each other. Although I am of Irish descent, I have no fuckin' idea what "blag a discount", "our kettle is permanently on", "trick as buggery", or "sheep shaggers" mean. This thread is educating from many directions. Keep it going, Mates !
