my shed would look like that but thankfully i was given a storage room at work, which has spilled into the yard in the form of two rear subframes a bonnet and a pile of headlights, god only knows what would happen if i had to bring it home, i like a tidy workshop

I bet you know where every single thing is?

My shed is extremely tidy and so easy to keep too, as i dont have one

How nice it must be to have a barn or something to store parts and, mainly, cars!

My parts are spread about, some are in relatives garages, in our garages, stored in the C15. I try to keep a stash of bits to a minimum.

My garage has got woodworm, but I can't get near enough to treat it

I need to tidy mine all. I have a few different areas. CX, XM, Xantia, and then a few bits of random stuff I haven't tidied yet like the XM estate (theres not much of that to tidy

).

My garage has got woodworm, but I can't get near enough to treat it

My "garage" is full of cows!

Only a few more years and they'll be full of Citroens

If I had a shed, it would be really, really, really tidy!

my excuse is many years ago before running my own workshop, i used to do a bit of kerb side auto's,

and we had some theaveing types liveing near by,

so if and when i dismantled the like of G's,Visa's, dershies (2cv's) and a CX,

i used to dump the bits in the shed in a mess so the theaveing types could not find anything worth pinching,

now i wish i had kept it a bit tidyer

I have just invested in one of those metal drawer tool storage units after 50 or more years of not being to find anything, absolutely brilliant, I did some work on the 406 today in about half the time it normally takes because I could find everything straight away

My shed is a tip- car and bike bits, spanners all over the place--I work on the principle that if I cant find it, a thief will give up too.

Here's some not so recent views of mine...

Taken during a diesel pump overhaul...

Not too much has changed really since then, It's a tad tidier these days as it has even more stash in it

Can't even get in the shed to take pictures.

Loft has got half an AX GT in it.

Same here !! The single garage I have here is full to the doors, I have to take stuff out to even step inside ! The double garage at my mums place is almost as bad, with my stuff !! I can just use a bench at the back there but access is like walking around the edge of the deck of a small boat !
I also have a 40 ft container full, and a 200 sq ft of self storage !!
This is what happens when you've been spoiled with having a family business based at a 6000 sq ft warehouse and having a little corner of your own to store stuff, then, it closes and space has to found to accommodate it all !

It's actually hidden amongst the tat...sorry, useful bibs and bobs that MIGHT come in handy one day.
