    I've just finished my UC Torana and I want your rims and tyres you have on yours. Are they 15x8's on the back. that's what I would like if you thought they fit ok. 7" on the front, $$s delivered to Bundaberg QLD.
    Shed building is one of the hardest games out there, sure anyone can build a shed, but doing it for a living and doing it right is a different story. I did it for about 20yrs and made good $$s doing it. I can tell you that you have done very well. Better than most I've seen over the years.
    My tip: find a local shed builder (not a house builder) have him measure up all the flashings needed to finish it off and polish up a few things. like the overhang eve you have. It's that last 10% when done properly can make all the difference. 2-3 days tops even if he doesn't finish, you'll know how to. Oh, and when you paint the roller doors, paint all of them don't try and match a colour and think they will look the same, and buy the best paints.

    • @TheIronEmpire
      @TheIronEmpire  Год назад

      Thanks for the tips mate! Yeah, it’s always the last little bit that makes it look unfinished and separates it from a “pro build” but it will get there!
      We got these wheels years ago mate, they are Street Pro’s by VPW. I think they are 15x6 and 15x8.5
      But I’d suggest slightly narrower on the rear if you’re planing to run it this low!

    • @markstone5593
      @markstone5593 Год назад

      @@TheIronEmpire Ok thanks, so do you sell a similar set and post Australia wide, eg. cheaper convo pro look alike rims. Or maybe a set that will fit and suit the old school torana. Not after high end wheels, just a nice set of 15". cheers

    I put my shed up. Will do it again when I move.
    I put my hoist up outside. But I don’t work on nice cars.
    Outside means you don’t waste shed space and the do take up lots of space.
    I modified the hoist (2. Post) to also be able to drive the mower up on it and another jib to lift the bike up to get under it to service etc. awesome 😎
    3rd jib for butchering sheep. So it’s a huge benefit to have the hoist outside. And yes I built my shed high enough for the hoist and made the slab thicker but then put the hoist up outside haha

    Mate you are what I call “an achiever” that’s bloody brilliant
    My only suggestion would be on the old bench you probably want steel lining so you can have a Greasey oily component pull it out of the car and drop it on a bench and it’s basically a timber benchtop that’s been lined with 1 mm or less steel sheet so the oil doesn’t penetrate the bench……
    You’ve even got Aircon
    The only other suggestion I would make and you know this already if you put in a two post Hoist you can now park one car from outside underneath and have one on the hoist so there’s not bad bang for your buck there either……
    They’ve come right down in price
