240Z / Garage: 240Z Banner / Flag
While browsing the web for a few nice deals, i stumbled upon something which finally arrived at my door today. A huge Datsun 240Z Banner / Flag with a nice Japanese theme, showing some Cherry blossoms and snowy montains along with japanese characters (still need to translate them). A german dealer who sold it on ebay ads told me he bought it at an oldtimer swapmeet in the Netherlands. A bit of research revelealed that the graphics once were made for a 30 year celebration by an insurrance company called Carole Nash. The original wallpaper is still available for download on their website: https://www.carolenash.com/insideclassics/classic-car-news/carole-nash-celebrates-beauty-classic-design-global-classics/ Well. not sure how it ended…

HOUSE: The Garage / House / Workshop build progress

I have a Build thread on Garagejournal with almost daily updates and lots of details on the project here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6193493 But…

HOUSE: The new BIG Project (Garage, workshop & House)
You may have noticed a significant lack of updates lately and the pace has been going down slowly over the last year or so. That wasn’t because i lost interest. No. Instead it was because, aside from wedding planning and general life, of another project which has slowly been growing in secret. The reason why i haven’t released any information until now, is because we had to argue about 10 months with the local government to finally get a build-permission. but since a few weeks we finally got everything and it’s time to reveal the BIG project: We (me & my wife) will build our future home together with another…
