Just had Google remind me of what my workshop was like a year ago.

Found this old photo. Our legendary Renault 12 Estate, WNC997L at Sherwood Road, Denton. My mum at the wheel with my brother. It was my dad's work van, the family car and towed a trailer for camping holidays.

Coming a part nicely.

For this 2CV, are you using spanners or a tin opener?

What are you doing to the 2CV? It looks better than the blue one.

I'd kill for a garage / workshop like that, imagine how many oily Biturbo bits I could spread all over the floor....!

Meanwhile, the probably long forgotten Matra Laser....

Sockets, spanners and screwdrivers so far but a chisel will be coming out.

The floor pans are shot and the paintwork poor along with small areas of body rust mate.

Waited along time for a workshop like this one and the fact I can use it commercially from home and all legitimate as it was previously a Carpentry workshop.

A bit of work Tim but it's a paying job so no worries here.

In what universe, does a 2CV ever look good?

Did you start early today?

I think you are confusing 'good' with 'better'
