All in - pulling the 4.6 engine and trans to fix oil leaks once and for all

[stunt]

Thanks again Phil for the expert advice! I'll wait to clean the parts then until I'm ready. Glad I asked!

Started on the shop bench tonight. Here's the stainless work surface. It is 96" x 24" and 1.5" thick (double 3/4" MDF core). It comes in at around 150lbs, so very hard to move around by myself.



I plan to add another 12" (double 3/4 MDF core as well) at the back so the total worksurface will be 96" x 36".

I have cleared a previously unused back corner of the shop for the shop bench. There's just over 96" between the red truss and air compressor, which stick out about 36", so it should be a perfect fit.



I started gluing the end structures as seen here from the zoomed out view of bay 4 of the shop.



It will be so nice to finally have a work bench in the shop after 14 years! Don't know what I was thinking not doing this before...

And outside shop. I added the 2 16' W x 36' D bays last year and they are already stuffed. Lol
