the showman

here ye go Norm

You could put the bits in a blender now Ian

The HT lead looks a bit long Norm, might make the motor run a bit retarded, do you want me to bring you a shorter one to Newby ?

Right chaps, an update as requested by Paul a min ago
 
Next on the hit list for Operation "make space and find things I didn't know I had" was to tackle this messy corner and clear it out..
 

 
 
So I could fit this shelf thingy on the bench. This used to live under one side of the big bench but lost its parking space when the bench was trimmed down.
 

 
 
Lot's of digging later I found a bench grinder!
 

 
 
Gone!!!! along with the speaker..
 

 
 
That looks a lot better..
 

 
 
My new paint store despite the Batman camera angle
 

 
 
All the paint was stored in the red boxes that were between the racks.. Handy they have been moved as this space will soon fill up with..
 

 
 
This lot !!
 

 
 
That's looking a bit better.. The key to making more working space is to make more space here.... But your have to wait to see that
 

had a hiccup with the photos, heres a couple more

Towbar didn't fit so ordered a new one and it was only 85 quid including post, not worth fabricating the old one

Had to replace the old VW LT and picked this up today, its a Mercedes Sprinter 2010 in Wheelhorse Red LWB, have to say i'am very pleased with it.

Love the " Lawn Sweep Off" idea, always get a laugh on here 

Morning all, before I can start on the next bit of serious shack surgery one of those "very boring but has to be done" jobs was done yesterday... Yep, tidying the floor!!
 
I even managed to make space under the bench on far right!!  Very handy for storing boxes of metal off cuts once I have sorted through them.
 

 
 
You can walk around the front of the 6x6 now!
The metal box/tray thingy is for catching swarf from the pillar drill and looks much better than the old blue and much trodden on biscuit tin!
 

 
 
The tool chest was moved over as much as possible to create this big space which although filled with a full bin and bag of rubbish...
 

 
 
Will be the new home for my power hacksaw thingy.
 

 
 
The cull has started, all stuff to be thrown out/go to the scrap man....   Though I might rescue the drill bit kit box (looks like a tool box) and turn it onto a tool box for the GT
 

 
 
 
Oh.... and I found a few hats
 

Sorry Ian, I forgot to tell you to tow it at 50 mph.   

Thanks guy's, yep there will of course be a build series Mark

had another look at the handle Kenny, found a socket that's inch and haft and tried it in the handle and its a good fit

Correct
 
 
 
 
Thanks Koen, I hope to get started on it asap but I do have some interior Workshack remodeling to do first!
 
 
 
 
I have indeed. I had to wait until I had something to show before I announced my plans to the world
 
 
 
 
Thanks Chris, it was great to visit last weekend, it was a shame I didn't have more time!  Maybe not get my Wife to drive me over for the next visit
 
 
 
 
Your welcome mate, good to catch up with both you and Wendy yesterday. And a big thanks for offering the Wh delivery service
 
 
 
 
 
Lol, yep it was Tea.. at least I think the small round bags had tea in them...  Coffee is more my line of expertize

Glad to see the old girl getting a new lease of life, will be interesting watching the build Ian,
It was nice to have the time with you and look forward to your next visit, its nice to make some room and fill your shack up.

Had another look at the handle and it still looks an inch and a half to me

Now i had the gearstick in the right place, after turning the axle i had to modify the engine frame and turn the engine all the rest of the controls were cable operated so made it easy to change. photos are --- engine fitted   bodywork from A90 offered up  and with bonnet fitted. to fit all the bodywork i only had to weld some angle along the frame as it was the same width. 

Found the handle, has a reverseable thingy so can go both ways, handle is good as well
