    You can get quite a bit from youtube. The brother in law sticks the occasional video up and he did one which was picked up by mainstream media and therefore suddenly he got lots of hits. He earnt enough to restore a project car he was working on.

     

    Really I should have video`d the work I did on my project car / bikes and produced some "how to" guides for youtube. doh!

    I’m planning on vlogging my z rebuild once the garage is done

  3. Those of you that have been here long enough may remember the original Z-Shed (Not @Keyser fake one :P)

    This was where I built my HKS supercharged Z over a winter :lol: it was an experience for sure.

     

    Last year, I moved house and my sole requirement was either a garage or space to build a garage - the rest of the house the Mrs could have and do what she pleased with.

     

    So, we bought a house with a decent sized garage, not quite a double but a decent size none the less

    As you can see, it needed a bit of work doing to it.

     

    After almost 12 months, I finally got around to getting some prices on sorting it out. 

     

    A few builders came to price up the job and the general consensus was that the roof was unsafe. Tiled roof on a timber structure and it was starting to bow - this was much more work that just getting the floor laid and the walls done :( 

     

    On the bright side though, it means I can now get the garage I always wanted (even if its not quite as wide as i'd like)

     

    work to be done;

     

    Remove roof

    Raise building structure as high as possible without the need for planning

    Fit new roof

    Lay new concrete floor

    Insulate and board walls

    New electric roller door

    New LED lighting strips

    Fit outside tap

    Build ramp into garage 

     

    Work was supposed to take 4 weeks, we are currently coming to the end of the 4th week and still not finished - I reckon still another 2 weeks atleast

    Bizarre one for you - I need a connector from the radiator fan wiring loom - the one that would attach directly to the fan motors themselves, or to the mishimoto fan looms that I presume you sold with the shroud.

    I need 1 connector and about 30cm of wire attached to the 4 pins. 

    Let me know - cheers! 

    Yeah Ive got that.

     

    No idea how much for it though :lol: PM me an offer and we'll see :)
