new "garage". just settled in after 3-4 months.
got my drawing office in here as well.
a group of us ageing arch/car mates have fled the inner city for a donut suburb antarctic base. got our cars there as well.



picking away at the falcon ute in its cowl and under dash region.
aus cars rust, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , even sans snow and salt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)




went for a walk down the block this morning.
the vehicle scientists at surrounding bases have some real tasteful gear.

ford hard top "john goss special".
as a ford man thought this might warm your post winter heart.
got my heart beat up and racing for sure.
been ages since i stumbled into one of these.






there are some real +'s to the new location.
no idiotic inner city speed limits. 60kmh out here. not 30.
no speed bump traffic calmers.
plenty of sweeper corners.
and the groceries at the supermarket are 25% cheaper - (as well as the beer).
and the gasoline is not hyper priced. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What a great setup. That falcon looks like a cross between a maverick and a Torino. Very cool.

I like that thunderbird too, is it a supercoupe?

i think its an 85. an elan. heritage elan?
its got a strangled small v8.
belongs to my mate.
he got it cheap 20 years back.
story was someone had been shopping for cars in the states and had room for one more in the containers. so they put the car in they had used to drive around in the USA while they had done their car shopping into the container as well. the chunderbird as it is now nicknamed.

its nothing special. what you call a cruiser. but still lhd. so fun to get out on the streets every now and then and wallow around corners with - while deriving pleasure from observing the digital dash. the dash is really cool in an 80s idea of the space age way.

as to the falcon hardtop = torino. yes. also the USA 19701/2 ford falcon is part of the mix.

yes - its a bit of a cathedral of space. used to be a steel fabricators shop - they built big stuff in there. has a crane on a rail overhead which we are trying to see if we can recommission and get going. but first we have a structural engineer mate of mine checking out the state of the structure. all a clear span truss roof, very elegant design.

we are on the lookout for some more four poster hoists so we can double stack cars for storing. you can generally pick up second hand four posters pretty cheap.

Long time Mustang enthusiast here, know all about cowl rust.
Nice hobby digs, always more enjoyable with a like-minded group. Here in the South U.S. we have maybe one snow, no salt but plenty of rain, leaves, dirt that left unattended will ruin an old car in short order. In my area it's possible to have at least a dry day or two of driving 12 months out of the year. My hobby cars stay dry and in a dark garage when not driven.

Even though the mustang lives in the garage and never sees salt or winter, every year I still find places that want attention. The trunk lid has been the most recent culprit. Just little surface rust but if not dealt with.... On the Porsche, this will be the year of the frunk. It's starting to threaten badness around that drain hole under the spare. Sand blaster time again.
