205 litres of toolbox!

[RegSpec]

I picked up an empty 205drum branded "ANGUS Nitrofuel" from the pits at WSID....empty unfortunately :yeees:
But I didnt want to chuck it out and now youve given me the perfect use for it..... :
Any chance of getting a plan or some dimensions on how to set it up?

Gee, Am I just talking to myself or is there a parrot on my shoulder called GTP006 ! .

Unless you've got a peg leg and a patch I'd invest in an umbrella ;)

I'm more of a pictures man so I skipped all the posts and added my ingenious and seemingly not so original 2c. Great minds....

lol me and drawings dont work, its all worked out in my head, i used 400mm runners from bunnings, i made then into 'runner rails' (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/Image461.jpg) and made them square, tacked them in, then cut the front out to suit. then the rest should be pretty simple if you can make a set of draws out of wood (or you think you can). im going to add side tables that clip onto the sides of the box so i can put my laptop on the side when tuning my car so i dont loose any space. can also be used of other things too i suppose but thats my main reason

shes done, painted, ruberised, bubble wrapped, and on the truck heading to sydney for worldskills nationals, ill be following the toolbox up on thursday on a plane and then returning on tuesday next week. here are some pics, big thanks to justin, russ and younge dean at pheonix customs for the paint on this, itll be going back there after i get back from sydney for a respray and fine tuning :P thanks guys!oh and a big thanks to my gf who stayed up with me till 1 am last night to finish the draws off and thanks to my dog too, he liked the taste of the rubber.... hippy dog

id suggest screwing them in if you do it because i melted a couple wheels and they dont roll properly anymore lol but the draws still work fine.
