I love seeing shots inside workshops/sheds, especially those that have their focus on older cars.  There’s usually some pretty special stuff hanging about.  I’ve been inside a certain shed in Dunedin that houses some pretty magical things generally of a Datsun/Nissan nature. FJ24′s, L-series “RACE USE ONLY” labelled intake manifolds, all manner of impressive bits and pieces.  When I got these photos via email from Ewan (www.hayatonka.com) I was suitably impressed and thought I would share them with you all.

How cool is that?  Working on the moderns but with classics taking every possible other section of space…  Too cool.  So what else is in the workshop?

Seems like the kind of garage you’d expect sheepers from oldschool.co.nz to have shares in.

I can’t wait to visit Japan one day and see if I can stumble across such treasures myself.  I can only dream.

    thats a pretty random celica notch they’ve got there, it is a TA22 (or 20/21) but its rocking RA25/TA27 front sheetmetal, ultra rare and never came out on the notch’s, just on the hatch’s.

    very cool.

    cheers
