Thread: 51 MG restoration.

The extension is going to really be the driver this season Tom.
My neighbors have been cool, so far. The one has just had a second floor addition added so can’t throw stones from a neighborhood impact perspective with all the construction noise. But that’s almost done now and I ain’t.
But really, the shelter wouldn’t survive two winters as built so I must get to the paint completion stage. As soon as the paints on, I can tear down the shelter and complete the car in the original garage space.
Wiring, panels and upholstery all later..
Taking half a week next week to continue on the preprime steps.

You know these days something has been there a while when it shows up on google street view huh?

But to defend my work, I don’t think it’s toooooo obnoxious in its size. I did try to blend, even chose a white tarpaulin as coverage.
Hehe

I have a customer with 2 old cars and he added a greenhouse addition out the back of the garage. Pretty cool, he can put 4 cars in there.
Perhaps someday you might do something of the sort.

This doesn't look bad at all---

It’s a nice looking neighbourhood. I bet some of the people can be real uptight. I think it is best policy to always be the best neighbour that is sensible.

Amen Shaun. And yes,some folks are quite tightly wound and house proud around here. Off work for a year and a half, with pay, and have impeccable properties,, and then there’s me.. I’m holding on, but have lots afoot, including a job that demands my appearance,, lol..
Blue collar dude on a white collar street.. but I do love our property and don’t plan on moving any time soon..
When we do however,, I need to find a bungalow, with a barn or proper outbuilding, and out in the country more

You and me both brother. Growing up I had a open carport with a shop attachment that my dad used for his sharpening business for a while. It was great for working on vehicles. I miss it. Now I live in the suburbs and I hate it. I spent most of my life living in the country, my family owned over 100 acres when I was a kid so, yeah, I'm not used to this kind of thing. If you can't take a leak in the front yard you're too close to civilization as far as I'm concerned. Hell, I want to live where I can shoot deer in my front yard.

Ive always been a city boy and always will. You guys can have the dirt and dust of the country. Now a larger lot is a bonus for stuff. But at some point too much stuff just gets in the way and holds ya down. JMO.

It's a law of nature that no matter how much room you have you will always fill it and need more room.

I agree !
