The shed will eventually be replaced with a mk4 Astra van.... most likely a TD, once funds permit. I'll miss abusing the shed, but nothing lasts forever. Dispite all that's gone on with it, and me getting the hump, it hasn't been that bad. At least some of it will live on in other peoples cars (Ben and Ivor's).

It is my intention to to weigh the shell in on Wednesday, so if there is anything anyone wants... feel free to ask

And so the end is near, I think time for a beer. :nyam: Enough of the poetic lines  :laugh: , the shed is nearly stripped, just the engine and gearbox to drop out now. Pics to follow. All being well, she will be going to her new home on Thursday moring (the big car park in the sky)  :'(

It's been emotional  :yes:

I'll take some departing pics tomorrow. I had a text from my dealers today to say that the paint I ordered has arrived in stock. So now I have a pack of spray paint and laquer, and a touch up pen set in Graphite Mica...... and no use for them. Do'h! I think I might paint my computer with it..... It's a custom built unit, so why not give it a custom paint job?  :D

On the back of the truck waiting to go off to be cubed  :'( 

As she was going to be crushed straight away, I decided to put all the windows and sunroof through, then dent all the panels






So long shed, it's been emotional R.I.P  :'(

Well, as the old girl's gone, there is no point in keeping this thread open. Would some kind person from admin please lock this thread?  :good:
