    It is a lovely machine, and sounds unbelievable. The 8 is definitely on my list of dream cars.

    Yup, still not finished yet, have to floor the rest of it and cover it with carpet and then get the car cover for the car.

    The underbody of the car is going to be sealed soon hopefully just working on a price. It's better than sitting in my driveway for 6 months in the rain snow and everything else!

    It's also there with 4 other cars and they have been there for the last 2 years and no issues, the shed is decent enough to be fair so it's this or the great outdoors.

    I presume so has not been used as a cow shed in a long time? One of the lads suggested to lay down plastic as well so thats something I can do too.

    There is wood over the other side where the work stations are and that is in fine conditon so it all appears to be good.
