The space where that Vauxhall mat & most of the other spare floor space is now full. There is probably more than twice the amount in there now.

Parents garage and shed, brothers garage,brothers shed ,brothers wife's brothers shed roof space and a pair of corbeau buckets and a few other small bits in my room.
Scott I bet if you spent a day tidying/ re arranging that stuff in the garage it would take up half as much space.

Must stress all the other junk at the back/under my stuff is my dads stuff in the garage, if i could i would have the garage to work on cars in, but he wont let me, so i just take up space with stuff.
scott i want the early rear and swing seats lol.
Dude i was trying to sell that rear bumper a while back but no one wanted it, might use it on the jam yell yet though, if not then I'll sell it, seats are to be trimmed into the SRi one's in the shed pic so they have the side supports etc.
