Looks like a good start. I also have panel lift doors, which kind of sucks for lighting and makes it impossible to hang anything from the roof. Also means I have to be creative with the planned hoist install.

Hope you have more clearance above the door than me, as my lighting choices are limited to flush mount as opposed to normal fluo tubes.

I was extremely frustrated not being able to access my tools at first but judging by the pics, you've already got that sussed.

Re the driveway, steel plate bolted at four corners would be easiest, as mentioned by magpie or break it up and re concrete just as okibi suggested.

I wouldn't mess around attempting to stick new concrete over the existing slab as it will crack and break off a lot sooner.

Just my 2c

Trophies need to be moved into an out-of-reach area if they're in the garage, otherwise they're just taking up valuable space for tools-n-stuff you need access to
- while you may think you have enough space now, you'll soon run out.

Awesome

I hope the pup enjoyed the ride. I haven't taken my boy for a ride in the car for a while - he slipped all over the place in the leather seats.

163,000
Never happy with the Exedy HD Clutch, so it's gone.
Automotive Plus put in. Light weight flywheel, and Exedy Ceramic Cushioned Button Clutch. Replaced leaky master and slave, added ss line.
All good. Pretty bighty, but pedal pressure is fine, and response is good.
Take offs require a deft touch and throttle balance but nothing we won't get used to easily.

New Prestige top arrived from UK, $950 delivered.
Just need a spare day to fit before Tassie Natmeet.
