I'm the same as yourself Ptank! My apartment has offroad parking but not something where I could park the 180 to work on, plus I would have no where to store my tools.
The garage I was using when working on the Skyline a few years back was ideal at the time, but still a bit of a pain to get to.
Right across from my apartment is a derelict/unlived in house which has a perfect garage going out onto the road beside it, perfect for storing a car in, currently trying to find out the story with the house and shed.......see if the shed could be rented, unlikely but it would be perfectly located for me
Thanks again for all the comments guys, I'll have another post toward the weekend
