Great pics thanks and a fantastic shed.
Love the Kelpie and the CB350 :blink:

I'd rather have tools that I don't need, than not have the tools I do need.

Well done. How good is it to walk out to the new shed in all weathers knowing it will be clean dry comfortable to work in. I spend half my time standing there dreaming of all the things i could do in it..... i spoli the dream by doing somthing else though. :sick:

Can anyone tell me where I could possibly find or get made a pair of rear metal guards, similar to the style as shown in this cropped Google credited picture?

The truck came with the standard Australian flat panel style, but we would like to try and put a nice pair of round ones back on it.....as long as its not tooooo expensive!

Thanks

Great shed and probably a bit late, but I can highly recommend painting the floor. I built my 14m x 12m shed about 11 years ago and painted the floor then. When I give it a wash, it still looks like 90% of when it was new. It stops a lot of dust, oil and grease just wipes up with a rag. Every couple of years on a stinking hot day I take everything out, wet down the floor, spray it with truck wash from a backpack sprayer, broom it over and then wash out with the pressure washer. Comes up like new, and also forces me to have a good clean up! I did the same with my home garage.

Hayseed, PM sent, cheers.

Oilman, we're on the same page, been there and done that before, so made sure it was given 2 coats of good industrial paint before anything set foot in it.....not a cheap project though :-(

Hi Claire,
I have seen your name come up on the forum on other peoples posts and on mine where you have made comments. I new you were doing up a truck but hadn't seen your posts in context until tonight . I have read your whole resto I think I got confused because of your comments on other peoples posts and different headings on yours. Anyway you are doing a fantastic job you - should be very proud . I apologise for not commenting earlier.
Keep up the great work
Cheers Fill
