A bonus of working in an all male office, where most of them are car guys...
I am moving to another area and this was the farewell present from our social club.
I wish my wife was as good at picking gifts!

What a top gift Tony. Best torque wrench in the world bar non, made right here in Melbourne by Warren and Brown for Sidchrome.
If you keep moving departments you could end up with a complete tool box.
Cheers

That's just so typical of a male only environment... all torque.

Thanks for that info Russell. Looks like good gear.
I was really touched...
The only thing missing now is a 427!!

what a excellent choice of gift . I have a warren brown torque wrench I bought in 1981 when I started my apprenticeship and I ve used it nearly every day since ive lost count on how many engines I have put together using it .
I get it tested for accuracy from time to time and I reckon its only ever needed tweeking once or twice in it's life .
it is the only tool I own that I refuse to lend out to anyone even my best mate :-) . im happy to go around and help him do what ever it is he is doing but its good he understands the accuracy it must maintain. ive seen people try and undo nuts with them out of ignorance and don't want that happening to mine .
enjoy your gift and look after it and it will last you a lifetime .:-)

Last of the insulation and lining done.
Only one thing (glaringly!) missing now...

I was focusing on the car related stuff in the photo, looking at the shelving and the far corners of the shed, when..... A little human being appeared in the photo!
Shed looks good mate. It will look exponentially better with a shrink wrapped AP being wheeled into place.

Looks good Tony,
While you are waiting for your car you can sit at the piano and sing a duet with your daughter.
Cheers

Nice shed, should be enough room for one car in there.
Also good to see that you left one panel not finished on the right hand side, this is perfect size for the worlds largest whiteboard for your to do list.

Thanks gents - coming together well.
I have two little humans Craig - I try to only have one at a time in there to keep the noise down ! An angle grinder makes less noise than two girls fighting !!
On that note Russell, my singing does not sound better than an angle grinder ! I only sing when I am alone...
Leroy - good idea for the bare wall, but I am not lining those two bays, they face east and aren't as big an issue for the radiant heat that the other sides get. But - I know a workplace that might be offloading a 'compactus' storage unit. This would fit nicely there... or just another rack of shelving for all the Pace parts?
On the Pace note - my wife asked the girls what dad wants for xmas - they both said 'a Cobra'. I have been good all year - I promise !
Tony

I'll vote for that!
I'd be happy to give you all my "good" points that I accumulated over this year, if it meant Santa would deliver on your wish...
But sadly, I've been a very naughty boy...  |

No update for #23, but I met a distant AP cousin today...
A very neat build, getting lots of attention

Horny looking car. While it would be completely unnecessary on the street, I'd love to see someone driving one of these around with the big mother Group C Le Mans style rear wing!

I'm sure it was a pleasant day out but looking at the cars in the background it wouldn't have been too difficult to nominate "Peoples' Choice".

Lol - I can see what you mean Don. There were probably 300 cars there though. That is not the best section!!! No Cobras at all.... 
I man has to be proud of his Commodore family wagon though
