fotorabia Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 cheers lads..building is a 1928 woolstore..upstairs is empty..downstairs..one part scaffold company..one part recycled timber ,one part cars n boats..the railway line now defunct ran from the harbour..parallel with the river...they closed it in the late 70s...i live in the oldest shed..my studio is upstairs..3000sq ft..and downstairs is storage..hence why Viva can sleep comfortably..

Milford Cubicle Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hey I like those late 80s Mirage/Lancer things, very clumsy styling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotorabia Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hey I like those late 80s Mirage/Lancer things, very clumsy styling. like a wedge of parmesan..without italian flavor n still cheesey..its a early 2nd hand import...before they dropped the tariffs on imports..so still would have been relatively expensive back in 96..it suffers from Wellingtonitis which means constant exposure to mild salty air..eats cars down there if they aint garaged..but we ve sanded n filled the rust an one can of white undercoat..voila..looks great from 5 metres..
