I got started in the afternoon after i cleaned up the shed and storage, stripped the front bar, guards and bonnet off as well as the entire wiring loom and doors.

Extra storage added to the ceiling in garage

Been busy building some extra storage that comes down from the ceiling in the garage. The aim is to put up some of the stuff laying around so it is out of the way and away from getting damaged. Will also help me get the shed a little more organised neat and tidy, i have over enginered it a bit so i could put heavy items like wheels etc if needed or dead body's...

I have now lots more extra plastic pannels and bits and pieces from stripping the car more so i can put all this up out of the way in here now. I plan on putting some more lights over the bench as well to give extra light.

Here i have built all the frame and just finished screwing on the first piece of 9mm ply, i did all this on the 41deg day so was absolutly buggered.

This will be trimmed but becasue of
