Thanks guys, Ive been out a few times just to check my reflection ...

Im all enthused about working on it again after getting something so major looking done. Time to repair rust holes in the body now, drop the front floorpan so I have the height to put in a seat, raise the rear of the driveshaft tunnel so I can lower it like a gangster and get shot at, then I can touch up paint again and put on underbody sound deadening and topcoat. Soooo much to do before I even get to play with suspension.

Dont worry Toga, I understand how things get in the way of things we'd rather be doing. Hope its just life stuff and not more health issues.

I'll have a functioning shed soon so I can get back to working on my Datto. Super excited. Its been ages since I've been able to do anything on her as I had no covered work area and project cars don't tend to like the rain.

Nice, that a kit?

Postby **borgasm** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 5:17 pm

Yeah, a Stratco kit. 6.9x9.2m with 2.7m high walls. There are a few faults in the instructions, and in parts supply but I fixed everything I could. Roller door height it slightly compromised though. It could be 150mm taller. I'll keep it in mind if I ever get something tall, its fine for now at 2350mm.

Do we have any electricians in the house?

I'm just wondering if there is any standard I need to meet regarding the height of a sub board in the shed. I made a mistake measuring the length of my feed line and I may have to dismantle my conduit and run it along a different path if the sub board needs to be above a certain height.

Aside from this issue I have 3 more days of work before concrete can be laid
