She will be happy with the clothes line until she notices lots of crap on the clothes from grinding steel or paint removal from old parts.

Dale, great clean shed, I seem to remember when my shed was as neat as yours. Nowdays it is rather full. My mobile gantry is over 3.8m. high and we are able to lift a fair weight.

Here is the Lynx hull suspended awaiting the chassis to be rolled, on a set of go-jacks, under it for the final time. A 3 point lift using the Leyland No7 set at the rear was all we needed to get the required height. We used the gantry to lift the original engine out of the speed boat into which it had been placed in 1958.

Fantastic shed Rick. I see what you mean about they are never big enough . I remember you telling me that before when talking on the phone . The lynx's looks amazing sand colour looks spot on . Rick any change of a photo of your carrier which I think is 2250 close to mine I know you have not started it yet but still would be nice to see where it's stored . Dale

My Shed isn't as big as Rick's, but here is my home made slap together gantry.

Yeah, I know sheds are never big enough!

Andrew, I was just updating my Lynx register and listed on the thread below, some info on your Lynx.

http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21839

Your hull should be No 2025 which is the newest listed hull number on the Army Registration Numbers lists at the Australian War Memorial. (Not the last ARN though. I have that one, ARN 123980.)

I also have a photo of 123970 for you. Obviously post WWII and not so loved. I cannot make out the makes of the car in the back ground, but one looks like a Falcon Station wagon, or an EH Holden so mid 1960's.

I haven't been able to find one of mine yet.

Please get in touch with me as I understand that you may have another ex. Australian Lynx in New Zealand.

Regards Rick.

But Andrew, I only see half of one of your sheds, and the gantry is not even in the picture!
A nice picture of your rotesserie, showing the proffessional way you go about doing things.
I take it that's a new floor going in.
