The big clean-up and shuffle!


Hullo All,

The big clean-up and shuffle is now taking place with the Malibu requiring only minor work.  What a job!!!  Threw all the odds and sodds into the middle of the floor  and I have been sorting now for two days.  Guess I get an F for housekeeping! Must make place for the next project!

Hey Johann want to work on an 82 Trans Am? It will give you a chance to see something you might not get a look at too often...rust!wink

I'm actually thinking of making my own little work bench in the garage.  It will also get my tool box off the floor!

Hi guys I took the day off work to do some sandblasting on the front sheet metal
of the 66 but it turned out to be kind of futile so I thought I'd join this thread.  Here's my sanctuary as of  today.   There's a  room on top  of it with an old couch and an wood stove and a whole buch of old car mags and books that's looking pretty darn tempting considering the weather!

The exterior picture kind of explains why I'm not going to be doing any sandblasting today  What a country!

I only have one stall that I heat.  The rest are storage because I can't get rid of stuff!

The white stuff is called Canada in May

I don't ever remember such a long winter. This is crazy. We cut the lawn and cleaned up flood crap tonight but I was freezing while I did it. Unreal....

Yeah it took me three years to build it as I could afford it.(barely) The room upstairs actually didn't cost much extra, just had to get the trusses made to accomodate it.  I added the outside stalls last year.  Finally put heat in it this year.  Handy considering the winter we're still having.  Still  Johann don't apologize for using your shop! Thats what they're for!  Mine was uncharacteristically clean only because I was not motivated to do anything else in this lousy weather.  You didn't see the storage stalls birsting with junk and my other old tubs. I'll send you pics of the other rooms if you are curious. its kind of cool to think that a guy as far as as you are is looking!

Hi, thanks for the reply!  Just remember that the internet has no distance barriers.

There is quite a large GM following in South Africa and I Use Canadian Poncho as an example of a good forum.
