Ordered my Galvalume this morning and will pickup tomorrow. Installation later that day.

Will be (8) 3' x 12.5'.......may not use stringers, now. ;)

Built an enclosure to move trash cans out of the garage and free up badly needed storage space. Will paint it house color so it will blend in as much as possible. I did not ask for HOA approval but shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of houses in the hood where the cans are stored outside and visible from the street.

Replaced the 50 pound battery with a 27 pound battery in the 330. I’m not ready to go with a stupidly low weight tractor battery like some do.

Built an under sink cabinet today for my mountain place out door kitchen. Usually you build the cabinet and then drop in the sink but I did it backasswards and built the cabinet around the sink. It worked out in the end

I'm fixing this neglected thing.

It was left for many years in the backyard of the previous owner after he had passed away.

The crap I drag home.

2 hour job after I got there with the panels. I applied caulking along each edge of the panels. Used 2" metal roof panel screws with the little o-rings.

Easy peasey.....:p

thumbs up!

Ok... so is that a Mazda badged Fiesta?

Looks great Baz! definitely the cheapest easiest solution

Geez bro...you need to study up on your homologated Group A Rally Cars.

Every little bit helps. I believe stock, the car weighs 3300 pounds and at the track last time I was at 2966. I’ve stripped out the interior, sunroof, trunk, etc. With the battery and a few other things, I’m hoping to be down to 2900 when I go back to the track in a couple weeks.

One guy I know has his car down to 2690 with a cage in it! I’ll never get that low, as I like my heat and AC for occasional drives and to and from the track.

I’ll take out the jack, wheel chock and spare tire when I get to the track.

Replaced the quarter inch steel seat mount for a quarter inch aluminum piece. Probably saved 15 pounds there. Used dry ice to remove sound deadener. Long way to go in that department.

brings back memories, I worked in the crankshaft department of continental motors as an engineering intern in the late 90s.
