My Black Bitza

WOW what a floor!!! Now I want one!
Scott:
Just had a chat to my mate, and he's keen to pump out a few of these floors at $80/sqm +GST. The floor is useable after a week or so but the top protective coat takes around 2 months to get to full strength. He's working on a way to speed that up a little. This price is if you can wait until he can fit it in as a side job. He's on the Gold coast, but will cover Brissy as well.
I've had the mustang and the defender parked in there since a week after the floor was done and with no issues. Still haven't organised to get the vette moved over yet :tear:
Here are some pics of the final product, complete with cars and dust.

I wish he was around a few years back when I had my garage built, now i got way to much crap in there to move it all!

After a lot of things happening, including becoming a father, I've finally managed to spend some time on this thing. First step was hiring a trailer and relocating it from my fathers shed to my shed. Luckily I have a heavy duty tow vehicle.
Now the vette is in it's new home with it's buddy, and I can just pop out and work on it whenever.
I've been cleaning the crud from the inside of the car in preparation for fixing the popped seam and cracked glass panels. I also decided that the interior wasn't stripped enough, so I removed what was left of the heater/aircon system which ended in me lying in a pool of coolant on the floor of the shed. Great way to spend a night.
In the end I now have the interior completely dismantled. The trans tunnel has been badly repaired at some stage, so I'll probably do something about that too, prior to installing my shiny new TKO, and then re-installing the interior. I also have a big box of dynamat that will be stuck to everything at some stage.
I'll also have to block up all the spare holes in the firewall. Vettes are notorious for getting hot in the footwell. Everyone claims it's because the exhaust runs so close, but the main cause is hot air running straight in from the engine bay.
The aircon set-up doesn't look too bad, but I think I'll replace the heater core while it's all apart.

In the last pic make sure a good seal is achieved between the 2 heater pipes & the internal duct. The factory put a small strip of foam there which will have long gone this is main cause of heat coming into car. The heat comes in from void in engine bay where pipes enter into car then leaks into AC duct warming the cool air. Also hot wire fan & check for leaks around AC box in engine bay side, seal with butyl mastic
