Well not mine anyway but the inlaws, owns his own comercial garage etc, loves his toy's he is a nightmare and i just thought i'd share his latest thing, its a 1972 ERF Wagon, love the sound of old Diesels, especialy on start up when they chug and pop, his plans are to put a caravan on the back but enclose it with the look of the body carrying a load of wood stacked so you cant see it, also alittle engine to power the caravan which will be cool as i think he's taking it to the shows, its also going for a new interior re-trim and needs a few odds and ends doing.

trust me it is a big garage lol, even has its own offices upstairs with kitchen, bathroom with showers etc lol, lucky enough to sort of have run of the mill too as there 2 car ramps just too the left of the wagon inside and theres another end you can just barely see in one of the pics with a green curtain pulled to the side, that has 2 pits for wagons and bussess, unbeleivable big place, the smell of the thing fired up is gorgeous hippy

a few more from the rear, its getting there, just the Chassis and axel etc to paint and a few other things.





He also has somthing that intrests me around the back, very tempted to do it up and make it road legal, has log book etc, and only 65k original miles, would be nice with a engine transplant cool



















Thing is, beleive it or not that side exit exaust sounds class, would like to put some rear lights and proper cage in, nice v6 or v8 if you could and get it on the road cool
