Paul,

A couple of shots of the shed floor for what they are worth.

Thanks Mando,

Need to find time to set everything up. Stuff has been sitting on the floor for almost year. We have unopened packing boxes that date back to 1995

Cheers

You need to settle down Geoff and start putting some miles on that Cobra!

I used Racedeck and it is very good - black and white chequer. Purchased in Sth. Australia.

Geoff, I love your shed, it is the same style as I want to add to my current shed.

Missed out on a 2 post hoist last night, would have been a worthy addition.

There are some nice coatings out there fella's. Tiles are a good idea and they may be easy to replace but you will always see it! although the tiles are easily cleaned the grout is a different matter it is easily stained and not easily cleaned.
Talk to anyone who puts coatings down and they will tell you the life in the coating is in the preparation. The concrete must be etched to give it a porous surface ie the latent must be removed off the surface to let the paint etch properly into the conrete. This can be done with Hydrocloric Acid mixed at 10 to 1 with water. Spray it on with a pump up sprayer leave it for 5 minutes then hose it off. You will be suprised how clean you floor is!!
Leave it dry Properly.......
Apply your first coat at 50/ 50 Half paint and half thinner this will make the paint soak right into the concrete. then apply another two coats on top. I like using a Gloss finish it looks good and is easy to clean. A rough surface maybe slip free but there a ***** to clean properly

Well done Geoff. I passed a 1000ks today! Off to the motor trimmer tomorrow for the tonneau and measuring for the soft top. Wouldn't you know it is the only day it is going to rain for weeks! Still who cares!

Thanks Boxhead, I think it works well though I would have liked to have eliminated the front columns but that ate into the Cobra budget too much

Agree on the hoist, but can't decide on a 2 or 4 post

Looks like I'll only make 800 odd before I leave. Dodged rain clouds down to Terranora but fortunately no precipitation. Look forward to seeing the soft top.

Yeah. These guys did a great job. Nice dark grey, canvas/vinyl, etc., heavy stuff. I got a set of hood bows from Don at Snakebite and then forgot that I had the 100mm extended Harrison body - Don had those too! Good quality stuff.

Hi Rog,

Good idea. Have noticed a few panto's in magazines of late, haven't looked into them but they seem to be recessed into the slab. The last one I saw up close certainly was.

Cheers
