Vombil is out stalking again! Did you ever find that backyard haul in the Western suburbs of Melbourne via googlemaps?

Hahah nar too far away. My commitment to the search for rust buckets is diminishing. Might sell up like Adzy and just keep one or two or buy restored.

[Vanhayden]

Well my good friend ;) do i have some rusty old holdens to put in your shed!
With a 180sqm shed I'd imagine you will be doing a fair bit of your resto @ home. Looking forward to some pics!

oh and i saw your VZ Van on marmion ave the other day. looks tidy dude

Would not of been me on marmion ave i have been at work for the last two weeks but yes the shed is good. I have only just started setting it up with a good work bench, tool cabinets etc. The hoist should be in next week which will be a wiiner!

The wife is a little worried i am going to move into the shed haha

I don't know how you guy's do it, but I'm glad you do, it keep's the country going. My son in law work's two on and one off, I could never have done it. The shift work I did finished me off, but working away would be worse for sure.

Cheers.

Yeah i have been doing it for over 10 years now, it is difficult at times but I am locked in at the moment as i am to used to the time off especially the 4 weekers.

I tried an office day job but just couldnt handle driving in peak hour traffic everyday!!

That IS a shed to be proud of, and some nice bikes too!

I see you have some lighting in there, are you a lampy or is your shed a venue for the local pole dancers?

[damienengland]

Haha. Great idea but i was going to use the panel van for that. Garage is dual purpose, workshop by day and club (for 1) by night. Spent the last few years sorting out a glass door fridge, commercial sound system and the club lighting you see. Much easier to hang in the garage and get spastic than troll around Melbourne's nightlife. Looks something like this at night.
