You've got yourself a really nice set up there, always wanted to have my cars at home even though they are only 5mins away there's nothing like just walking out of your back door.

That is the extended version ! Thanks to the slope we're on it's already nearly a storey above ground at the back...

ooh! machine shop under the garage then. plenty of room (and ventilation) in the 'pit' then. :thumbright:
Underneath is a good store, but not quite high enough to stand up properly. 'Machine shop' is upstairs though...

at least it's useful space. my mate bought a house on a hill and dug out a room under his garage to full height to give him a free storage/workshop space.

Not much to show for yesterday, got the patch trimmed up and the box sections primed, then spent the rest of the day crawling under the car chiselling off the underseal. Miserable job that...

Warming with a blow torch helps...still a rubbish job though.

Blimey, lost count of how many Mopars I've stripped of undercoating, it's actually not that bad a job once you get going.

Yeah....I could do with her a bit higher off the ground really, but working with what I've got.

Tacked and welded, not the neatest job in the world but it's not going to fall out. It's never as easy in the footwell as on the bench :roll:

Drivers side cut out, rather more than the passenger side....

So here's where Blue's advice to get a new floorpan would be sensible, but I'm at home, with time on my hands, no money and probably just enough 18g left to fill the hole. Soooo... :geek:

Yes :scratch: I think this one will be made up from a few bits. The hole seemed as good a place to start as any.
I think my neighbours will be fed up of the sound of hammering by the time it's done....
