Hi, I'm superscan811 and I'm an EBAY JUNKIE

[Superscan811]

Congrats on the progress. I'm going to have to come and see this shed that makes mine look small when it's done.

Thanks, It's only been a year since we started with Council...

BUT

at least it's on its' way now.

Thats great news, looks massive. I bet you can fill it in 7 minutes, lol

And then some, with all this gear





PLUS
my MILL


PLUS
A Nuttal lathe.

Pity I couldn't build a shed twice as big..

Cheers.

[Rally_2.6LC]

Yea I might have to remove my two Galants you can see in the background soon.....

And no scott you dont have to get your head read, your just starting to head in the right direction.....Lancer is the Answer



Cheers Matt

[smithdavidjames]

Scott, no fair you cut the grass... Shed looks massive at least neighbors dog will have something proper to bark at now!!

[Superscan811]

Moved the CNC mill and air compressor onto the slab



Now the shed walls are going up






Should be finished by Monday.
Then I'll need to hook up the 3-phase.

Cheers.

[Nath76LA]

Looking good, would love to have a shed that size. Bet you can't wait to be able to use the mill and lathe.

[Superscan811]

Bet you can't wait to be able to use the mill and lathe.

Too right.

Getting my toy lathe (500mm between cntrs) modified for CNC control while the shed is going up.
40mm wide Linear rails, C3 ballscrews, Stepper motor drive with a G-Code 4 axis controller.

At a later time, I plan to use one of the spare axises for a rotary tool changer.
The other will control the headstock for indexing when using live tooling.

Just one of the many projects I have planned for when the shed is operational.

Cheers.

[Xaser]

Im so so so SO envy....

Your Place are great!!!

do you plain to sell some parts?

[Superscan811]

do you plain to sell some parts?

Probably, once I test out a few of the designs I've been thinking about.
The beauty of a CNC is once you design a part and program it in, it's easy to make more.

BTW: I'm a computer "Network Engineer" (more commonly referred to as geek), not a fitter, so there is going to be a fair learning curve involved before I start making anything.

Cheers.

whats that red and white car under the tarp behind the gaylant?

[scorpioncollector]

[quote="TUFSIG"]thats alot of scorpions noice[/quot

Nah! thats not a lot of scorpions is it superscan811. Had the pleasure of a visit from for-mentioned member when he was up in QLD picking up some parts. Does thirteen (13) of them sound like I may have a problem (complusive scorpion disorder).

SUPERSCAN good to see that your shed has come to light. Still waiting on mine. Council paid me a visit too, some neighbour complained about mice and pointed to my cars, wait till i find out which one it was(dobber) they came, they looked, they took photos, and told me that they couldn't find any evidence of mice. Yard looks amazingly well kept and organized. NO FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.

PAYBACK IS GOIN 2 B A BIT-H

Not that fancy. Just an old lathe that was in need of a lot of TLC and decided to make it a bit better.
Since I'm better with computers than using my hands, I might as well make it computer controlled.
My brother is going to do most of the retro fit, I'll just do the electric/electronic side of it.

SUPERSCAN good to see that your shed has come to light.

Thanks. Been a long time coming but it will be worth it in the end.

No problem at all in my book.

...some neighbour complained about mice and pointed to my cars...

Wish you the best of luck "sorting out the problem" AFTER your shed goes up.
I expect they would appreciate seeing/smelling a lot of dead mice around, as proof you are actively doing something to stop that terrible mice plague....

Cheers.

[Rally_2.6LC]

whats that red and white car under the tarp behind the gaylant?

Thats what I call 'My diff". Its a GA I bought from Orange for the hilux LSD in it and have since decided to fix up (was on ebay a while back). Its being stored at Scott's place as my parents dont know about it, the White GB in front is mine too....thats know as "the interior" which is for said diff ;p.

Let me know if you need a hand Scott, willing to help as uve helped me.



Cheers Matt

[Superscan811]

Let me know if you need a hand Scott, willing to help as uve helped me.

May take you up on the offer. I'm stripping the GK Scorp donor car and will need a hand getting the block and gearbox out.

Getting closer.




Builders should be finished tomorrow.
Once they finish I have to build a 5m sliding door for the center bay.

Now I have to organize the electrician to run the 3 phase.
Hope this doesn't take as long as it did for Cheater.

Cheers.

[crystalmeths]

you lucky , lucky bugger

[Superscan811]

Center sliding doors and electricity to go......


Cheers.

[Superscan811]

I'm welcoming another car into my collection.

The GN Wagon.

The guy bought it as a vandalized vehicle late 1991 and has sat in his shed for the last 18 years.
He repaired all the panel damage (the vandals took to the car with a wheel brace and put cigarette burns in all the seats)
Zero structural damage, just replaced the 2 front guards, repaired the tailgate, bonnet and rear roof section.
The biggest expense (excluding rego) will be replacing the front windscreen, which has a crack through it.










The last time it was rego'd was back in July 1991.


Only done 40,350k's


The engine is barely worn in. Oil was clear so I poured a few liters of petrol in the tank and a splash in the carby,
and it started almost first go, well once I remembered to re-connected the fuel line..


Hope to have this car up and running before Christmas.

Cheers.

[75wagon]

Hope to have this car up and running before Christmas.

Will it be standard or modified in that time?
Auto still or manual?

Dave...

[Superscan811]

Will it be standard or modified in that time?
Auto still or manual?

I'll get it all put together and rego'd as is, then swap all the go fast bits over from the white wagon.

Cheers.

[Superscan811]

Damn.
Been offered another GH Scorpion. Supposed to be in fairly good condition as well.

Was hoping for another parts car to finish off the others rather than another car too good to strip..

Guess I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

Cheers.

[cheaterparts]

do you wont 2 more scott I have a couple here

by the way guys scott is starting a new venture - he's starting Magical Mistory tours - for a small fee you can rent his GPS
and with that just punch in where you wont to go and it will find the longest and most out of the way route

by the way scott how was perth - it would have been the home from melbourne to sydney

snicker snicker!

[Superscan811]

do you wont 2 more scott I have a couple here

Now thinking seriously about paying someone to bring them up, especially after the last close call.
This Scorp i was offered, was going to the crushers if I didn't want it.
Just hoping it's bad enough to strip and crush otherwise I'll have another project, just when I'm trying to cut back.

I'll know on Friday.

Don't know what you mean, Sydney to Melbourne via Mt Hotham, isn't that the most direct route?
It was a lot of fun with a car trailer on the back of a sigma wagon and negotiating some of the bends...

Cheers.

So whats the problem, whats another one added to the collection. I've just acquired one of those scorpion things, have to stop fertilizing the lawn they just keep popping up in the yard when I turn my back (or the old girls back )

That makes 14

[Rally_2.6LC]

.......via Mt Hotham???
Ive driven that road before, did u come across anything else coming in the other direction? would have been hard to pass lol......hope u got a new GPS for xmas...this one sounds like a dud hahaha.

[Superscan811]

MAN-CAVE is nearing completion.





Cheers.

[Xaser]

i really hate YOU

[Rally_2.6LC]

Where is the *like* button when you need to press it a million times.


Cheers Matt

[Superscan811]

i really hate YOU

Man cave is complete and lockable.

CNC mill is running, file transfer is working, but the DNC (computer drip feed for the mill) isn't yet.
Air compressor is operational.
Sand blasting cabinet is repaired and now works.
Manual lathe arriving Thursday.
Still trying to organize transport for the CNC lathe from Moama (the shipping companies want to charge me more to ship it, than I paid for the lathe).

Still getting the hang of the TIG welder (made the shed doors and they haven't fallen off yet).

PS: If any body is in the market for a cheap hydraulic 4-post car hoist, let me know. Came as a job lot with the manual lathe...

Cheers.
