Once I’ve set up the camber angles I’ll see what I need to make it look right. Not looking at much, 15mm max. Already using 8j rims. Pity as I have a set of Staggered 18s with 8.5 and 9.5j. However they are 5 stud. I would love some 10js

Managed to get the beast running again. Primed it and fired up straight away. A bit tappety, need to bed in the new cams but sounded pretty good.

The beast lives.

Hopefully will get a more purposeful covering for the zed rather than the Stormforce cover. Neighbour across the road is carrying out a lot of work and is getting rid of his shed, says I can have it. Needs the roof rebuilding but well worth doing as it’s 5m x 3m, heavy duty, ply lined etc. The zed fits in lovely! So there’s a project when it’s ready. Need to build a dwarf wall for it as it’ll go on my hard standing. Never ending work!

be worth it by the sound of it.

Sounds good.

The house we're building has an integral double garage which I was going to convert into a man-cave. Turns out the in laws aren't going to move into the annexe we planned for so change of plans submitted to local authority planner. The annexe goes, I get a cinema room and games room and keep the double garage....yey !

Hi Dan,

Should have kept the annex, and had it as a self-contained holiday let. :-)

We thought about it, but the lure of a bigger house for us and a saving of about £10K was too much.

The footprint is still there though Pete with seperate front door, drainage etc in place, so it's something that can be easily reverted to if we choose to at some point. All we are doing is simply not fitting it out with a kitchen and bathroom, and adding a door to access from what was the main house.
