good idea! I did a timber shed that you don't need planning for since it is supposed to be a temporary building (in Ireland) In the country side, that is. Same goes for a timber house down our lane, that is a beautiful cosy affair, could last for a century with some care and no planning permission ever needed. Surely they'll change that soon.
But knowing about horrible planning restrictions, I was thinking about a party tent, not expensive I think.

interesting idea Jaap. You can buy these aluminium framed gazebo fold away tents. Might be an idea. Although if the wind pics up you don't want something flapping around and taking off.
I think a simple wood post frame and some corrugated roofing would be ideal.

The new Heater Matrix arrived for the SD this afternoon after a Xantia Gearbox strip down.

So, I set on dooing that...

So, water catch in place, though, there wont be much the cooling system is drained while the engine awaits to come out.

Image

Undone the clamp screw and heater catch, and yes, original heater still fitted...

Image

So, nice new heater to go in..

Image

And also a set of new O ring seals too.. and put the inside all back together again.

Now, STILL trying to locate a 3 notch laminated gasket

Once it lands Paul please share as it may be worth getting a sticky thread for parts and suppliers for engine rebuilds :)
