Thread: The house or the defender?

Change the house.



Only need to do that once, changing wheels everytime you want to work on the car will get really tedious.

But you knew the answer to begin with, didn't you??

How did your 'fender get so tall? What are you feeding it? Mine's only 2.05 (without roofracks) - still wouldn't fit though.

the house

When I was renting I used to let my tyres down so I could crawl into the garage, then pump them back up on weekends. It got real old real fast.

I'd modify the house. Just go way bigger than you think you need to. Also, try to put in a longditudinal "I" beam with pulley block down the centre so you can easily move engines/gearboxes/axle assemblies/pianos up and down with almost no hassle.

Now theres a thought, dig it out so you drive down and in.

Lower floor?

Maybe not!

The issues are:

Sloping concrete driveway into Garage:

Hardyplank cladding - need to move one plank and refit roller door 2/3 inches up.

Roof is Triangle shape with beams sitting on frame of the house and cross beams across the garage.

Building inspector reconned cutting the cross beams making them an inch or so shorter and rebolting a couple of inches up the roofing beams?

Anybody see any issues with this?

My other question is will the roller door have the excess space to roll further down?

Lower floor

Dig out two channel for the wheels to sit in, 2 inches deep. 1 day job with a jackhammer and an angle grinder with cutting disc for thew reo
