You mad bastard.
That looks howling but hopefully the neglect is only skin deep, it looks like it will be very satisfying to bring back to its former glory.

I offer a two week, intensive, residential course in 'lowering your automotive standards'.
First week involves getting to grips with a high mileage Passat with front wings you could stab dry spaghetti through and 2 doors that don't open. The instructors will ensure that you do absolutely ZERO preventative maintenance whilst you're here.
From here, I don't think this looks like a lemon. You're the right man to improve it as you've got exacting standards. Godspeed, hope you start to gel with the car soon.

This is partially for the interest of you folks, but also for me as my memory is selective at best.

Where to even start? Off the road for years now currently identifies as a shelf in the garage. I will update the various dramas as they unfold, but I wanted to keep my shite seperate from the sideline motors that I have occasionally.

Major racking update
After visiting an v unwell family member today I thought a bit of physical was called for...
I'm well impressed with the set up. It's absolutely rock solid. I used the middle level as a platform to lift (solo) the top level beams in place.
I'm trying to balance the work bench height against maximising storage space but the middle bench level is going to have to come down a bit.
Cost was £130 for the beams and uprights. The boarding was another 90 quid so total of £220. I also got another set up of a loft over the garage door (see a page or 2 back) out of the original racking purchase so a right bargain I reckon.
Slight issue is I've got to fill these gaps
You can't really tell in the pic but the brick roof supports are in the way of the racking going flush with the rear wall. The gap is about 8". I plan to fill by screwing 3 x 2 to the wall and the boarding and infilling with cut pallet slats.
I've still 12 beams left, probably cut em up and use as fence posts up the allotment
TOP TIP: There are different makes of racking - Link51, Redirack, Mecalux, Stow (mine) etc. They are all proprietary and not interchangable between makes. So if buying any stick to one brand.
