Refurbished Home for the '75

Teflon · 31st May 2015, 16:36

Been busy of late, re-cladding my car port to get rid of the many and varied leaks it had. Just about finished now, so putting in a few finishing touches to make it seem like home.

Wish I had a garage though!

Hi.
That's cracking, plenty of natural light, even better than a garage.
Well done.

Teflon · 31st May 2015, 17:31

Thanks. It's definitely a big improvement on how it was, and best of all, it no longer leaks.

Much better then any garage as it lets the air flow around the car

agreed; for a car that is used allot this is super. I tend to keep the minis in the garage as they do not get out except in the sun but the 75/ZT collective are outside as putting them in and out would make damp worse. This is a great solution and lovely and light to work in

I must admit, when I put the '75 in the car port after it's been out in the rain, it does dry out quite quickly.

I am a bit disappointed by all of this Cliff.

I always imagined your car,

, as living in some sort of centrally heated bedroom.

I did think about it, but couldn't see a way to get it up the stairs.

That looks cool, wish I had one.
A nice comfy chair against the door to sit and just look and look and look at your car

Ken.
