Uncle Evil's Tool & Shed Thread

[eviltwin]

wow!! they are really good Jason i guess they wouldn;t have cost much to knock together , i could really use one if you could shed some details!

there's about $10 worth of steel in it, the rectangular base is made from 25x25x3mm angle iron tacked together, with some short lengths of angle iron welded to the front to support up under the sump/block. The rear has two flat bar tabs with a 12mm hole drilled in each that go through the lower bellhousing bolt holes.

The castors were sourced from Bunnings, two fixed 40kg castors at the rear and two swivel 40kg castors at the front, all tacked to the base frame. I got the height of the holes done by welding the front angle supports on, sitting the motor on the frame and then lifting the rear with an engine crane until the engine was level. Bellhousing bolt hole height was measured and then the metal cut to length, drilled and welded to the frame.

Does this count ???

This is my new tool box. Its 2 tiered with lots of compartments and because I am renting, I try not to accumulate too much stuff ....... as of yet.

So all my tools and/or spare parts are in there.

Oh, it comes with a handle and wheels so I can drag it along like a trolley.

I like the fact that it is brightly lit and there is ample space for 2 corollas side by side to be worked on.

So ...... 2 hoist? Or a hoist and a pit :lol: :lol: :lol:

:P :P :P :P :P :P

I'm mega jealous of your garages!

But I get what Eviltwin is saying about keeping your spendings hidden from the missus. Funny thing is, she doesnt even notice changes on the car how is she going to notice stuff in the garage?

I put on Headlights, changed all the interior lights to LEDs, put on slim weathershields, painted the mud guards, put in new mats and she still hasnt noticed.. Do you think she will notice when I lower it?

Dont make the mistake of doing what I did and tell her you are gonna use your tax return to buy new rims!!! Man did I feel whipped that day. (p.s. I still dont have new rims)

Mate, that cracked me up! I went through the same thing when I spent my tax money on new rims! But my wife is the same, she doesn't notice anything I do to my car..

I call this one Nigel...

I think you'll find he's a she :P

made up some of these today... rolling stands for the ZZ motors in my shed. Much easier than dragging them around to make space :D

I guess I could stick some casters on my zz engine pallet, but I have no need to move that block anyway :D
