  1. Ok, so you all know I've been getting a double garage built to keep Ruby and Dawns deck nice and safe. We;;, glad to say it's all up and done! Still got the electrics to go in (this saturday) so got an extension cable in there just now. Also still got the driveway to sort out, needs another ton of gravel, and Dawns raised border retaining wall needs to be rebuilt to make everything nice and tidy again. But the garage.........over the moon with it!! Got more space inside than I'd actually thought it would, can open all doors on both cars when they're in , and room at the front for a workbench and shelving etc. Here's the pics as requested! The guys start unloading the garage, ready to be built. And during the build Dawns deck couldn't wait to get in! Plenty room inside! Sooo, decided to invest in some new stuff for the garage. Got a new work bench, as I reckon I'll be spending a lot of time in there! Then went to hang up my tools. Dawn got me a a cracking tool box with tools, but wanted to keep them in the box (it's one of the ones with the drawers etc) so started hanging up my old tools.................and they looked pants! Half the sizes of spanners/sockets were missing, so back to Machine Mart and bought some nice new tools from they're Clarke Pro range Full set of socket extensions New set of sockets, which go all the way from 7mm up to 34mm (iirc) and a new ratchet Then thought, hmmm, those look nice with their wee stand.............so new set of screw drivers. And finally, a brand new set of spanners, again from the Pro series. These are mirror finished, so look sparkly! Full range of sizes from 6mm all the way up to 36mm. Really love them, and they're multifit heads, which mean they fit normal nuts/bolts, and also torx and hex bolts too. Was going to move the steel shelving from my shed to the garage, then thought, stuff it, so got brand new steel shelving for the garage too. And the wee special thing i had got for the garage? Proper "Honda power of dreams" banner! Ruby and Dawns deck seem to like it! Oh, and excuse the dust/dirt on both of them when the photos were taken, they've both been properly cleaned since then! Finally, all tucked up in their beds! And to make sure they stay safe in their new home, the garage is also alarmed. It's hooked into the house alarm, which is linked to the Police, so all secure. Lovin' it!

  3. There are no sheep in Daves street! lmao! Seriously though, I think this project deff deserves something kinda special like unveiling or something. It's been not just one but two mammoth journeys for Dave, Sarah and this mental Civic!

  5. What you've achieved is nothing short of sensational, the thought, research, time, effort and expense that has gone in is unparalleled and I don't believe there is or will ever be another MB like it. I know that sounds a bit like a$$ kissing but it's just a recognition of the commitment put in, a truly fitting tribute and although unfortunately I never got to meet Dawn, from what I've read, I'm sure she would've loved it.

  6. Thank you all for the kind words , after what had happened to her I said I would make her into one of the best MB2s around .and I had lost lots of money on her and trashed .so if it was to take a few years then so be it she could not go the scrap yard in the sky . The only downside to this is that a few people never got to see her finished . My grandad and my gran both passed way after She had gone and been trashed they never got to see my pride and joy as she is now . And crazy dawn who never got to see her or know what I had done . So to those 3 this build is for you R.I.P Not long till she comes out of her hiding place lol. A few more things to do and start building back up o and one new special thing to come toooooooo Thanks agin for the kind words :)
