Love the pile of hub caps.
What uses a triple row timing chain? The Dodge?

Can't show you the bench with my tools on as the Morris 8 engine is on it. The tools are on the floor. Embarassed

Cleared it the other day to do a job but it soon ended up looking like this.

As you all can see I have not tidied up. It is not usually this bad as I have 3 engines in pieces. There is not enough room in the garage for my tools so they live in the bike shed with the larger bits of the stripped car.

would love to take a picture of his workbench but he thinks it is the whole house, there is a tool box and bits in the front bedroom as he needs them for the job he is doing to the car and caravan in the front garden (job has been going on months) i got fed up of walking round another large box of bits in another bedroom which he said there was not enough room in the garage (i found room) tools in the kitchen there was a welder in the living room, i dont think there is anything in our bedroom or kitchen at the moment and dread to think what is in box in the back porch - but you must bare in mind that we have two garages and two sheds as well that could be sorted out and used but as in the last few months we have sold all the rovers, humbers and HA which just leaves us with the amazon and cheltenham, we still have to go through 10 years of spares for all the other cars when that is all done big skip ordered i can have the house back (i hope)

Here is the single door end of one of my main garage - its normally like this when not working on anything (cannot do much now as recuperating from an op) but somewhat more untidy when I am doing a job

Here's my dump of a garage, I took the photo from a distance as it is easier than fighting to the bench at the moment! I will be tidy one day!!!! I will add another picture when it's all nice and tidy (I can hear the mrs saying 'yeah right'!!!!)
