That is a nice, nice garage, Andy!

If tinypic would cooperate I'd upload my garage in the aftermath of the Jag stripping, but it won't. Grr.

Is that storage wars 



Ive got a home made shed roughly 12x12 , first job was to build a decent sturdy workbench the type you can sling an engine on then a decent vice that was bought from car boot ..amazing how many times the vice has come in handy for all sorts of things esp splitting the track rods  An organised row of nails in some wood on the wall makes for excellent tool hanging then individual tool boxes for pliars screwdrivers , heating a tv and radio a must just dont tell the missus  quite cosy in the winter

Pah! This is what some in the shittier parts of the Kingdom have to work with.

Is that where you sit talking to us, Den?

Gave up and used Dropbox:


Can't see the whole garage, but the carpet is .. somewhat wrecked after a serious dose of engine oil, ATF, pas fluid, brake fluid and screenwash :lol:

Before carpet, showing the workbench side:

Den, What turntable is that in the last picture?

Den, What turntable is that in the last picture?

Dual CS505 at a wild stab in the dark guess.

Vinyl sounds in the garage I like your style, Den. Beats my 1980's ghetto blaster.

It's an AristonRD80 running their own arm with a Sure M44-7 cartridge and is the last vestige of my vinyl playing kit having foolishly sold my Thorens TD 160 (SME arm Decca FFSS cartridge) in a moment of madness.

I did keep the Quad kit, B&W DM2a speakers and a lovely little Uher 4200 Report Monitor (5” reel to reel) to play about with however.

You don't get the cigar this time around K (see above) and this is the only place I can play the sort of music that always makes my wife ask, 'Are you really going to listen to that?'. 

[Kevin Wood]

Ahh, well. Like I said, it was a stab in the dark.

Think mine might be due a tidy up too.

I'm well jealous would love a garage but instead I'm force to work in the road if and when the weather is nice

Been trying to post pictures of garage, given up

Originally, I don't actually know - it's a 1968 casting, probably a good bet it was out of a Galaxie or Thunderbird but possibly a Mustang or Mercury Cougar It's a Ford 428 FE (7 litre), currently with a 290 duration/.550 lift Herbert cam, forged pistons, Cobra Jet rods, Edelbrock 72cc heads, PQ billet roller rockers and TWM (now Borla) throttle bodies.

Needs a rebuild though as the previous owner has killed the crank so the plan would be a Scat or Eagle steel crank, hone and keep the pistons (unless I *have* to bore 20 over), 270 duration Crane cam (I'd like *some* performance under 2500rpm!) and probably switch to hydraulic roller tappets instead of flat hydraulic. I'll aim for a square 500hp/500lbft I think and keep it streetable.
