Yeah that's why I think I'll avoid excavation, although I don't think it will be mostly rock on my block. The house is a mudbrick home and was made from mudbrick on site. The house is multi-level also, so I'd imagine if there was a lot of rock it would have been a massive PITA to build the house. I have an uncle that is a builder/bricklayer and his son (my cousin) is a carpenter so I'll be taking advantage of their abilities to help me with whatever we decide to do. But I'll need to find a new job in Melbourne in the new year I think. So that's the first hurdle to overcome. ;).

Yes Warrandyte/Warranwood/Ringwood araa. I'd been looking all over Eltham, St Andrews, Greensborough, Hurstbridge, Wattle Glen etc.. for a mud brick home. This place came up backing onto a reserve which gives it the feeling of being on an acreage. I originally wanted an acre or 2 to give me the ability to build a big garage/workshop area. But like I said above, I managed to get most of what I wanted but at a smaller mortgage size which takes a bit of pressure off and potentially makes it easier to spend more money on the Datsun's lol..

Yeah I know, seems every year the cost of construction goes up and up and the build quality goes down and down. :). The garage at my mum's old place in the early 2000s cost about $50k to do, which I thought was crazy amount of money at the time. https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-caulfield+south-108215496

Well after all the faffing about, I didn't get my epic man cave. So I'm gonna have to get creative in how I turn this area into my man cave. I have a very average video of the area here. Which shows the boat parking spot. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YUDWGGPZ9yuGCUhg7 Given it's all on a slope I'm going to have to think about either excavation or a multi-level garage area. This photo shows the garage/carport spot which I think I'll extend slightly. I think I could fit 4 x 240z's here with a little extension and may close it in (to turn it into a garage). There is a workshop behind it also (small). I was a little disappointed I didn't get my epic workshop area, but the house / location and feel of the place ticked every other box for us. So 9 out of 10 requirements. 10 being the garage. :). But the mortgage is far more modest than other properties I was looking at and I am hoping this gives me more cash flow to put into the garage area over time. I'm just grateful I no longer have to deal with real estate agents and the housing market in general.

Not surprised, heathen!

They are all a bit "clinical" looking for me. I did see a related article though: R100 and RX2 on hoist. But too much white! https://www.realestate.com.au/news/dream-home-includes-a-nextlevel-garage-with-stacker/?pid=article-page|source:news:article-page-bottom

Thanks guys.

No mate, not yet. Those look beautiful. I'll take em'. Let me know the the price? Send me a PM.

Right here mate. https://www.240zrubberparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/6337398

My 71 240z has a dealer fitted kit. I can take reference photos if it would help? After driving Sydney to Melbourne today in 40+ degree heat. I think aircon is a requirement in Australia now. The unit in mine looks a bit different to the above, but sits in passenger footwell.

$30k would be getting off lightly I'd imagine.

What happened with www.240zrubberparts.com? They offer the lid, the surround is the hard part to make since it's made of Bakerlite plastic (so it's fireproof). The lid however is just ABS plastic fantastic.

Is that why they re-listed it? LOL... www.ebay.com.au/itm/DATSUN-240Z-1971-NISSAN-FAIRLADY-RARE-NEEDS-WORK-SUIT-COLLECTOR-PANEL-BEATER/153761649529 RESERVE NOW REMOVED! But starting price is $7,000+

I don't think @C.A.F. would wanna know about it.

Probably fit the 2+2 better anyway. Especially in the back. On a serious note I may be able to bring them down with all the other crap I have to move interstate. So if you really do want them, we can probably work something out.

I like the ugly wheels

Yeah that's kind of my point, this was listed a few hours ago and already has a frenzy of bidding activity for a tarted up Fairlady Roadster (Lipstick on a pig anyone?)... I think I would advise anyone dealing with this cowboy outfit to be careful.

Not exactly convinced about the bidding on the items these guys are listing.
