You sound like a man after my own heart, and a tool junkie to boot! I've just taken a few pics to give you a flavour, the Land Cruiser I was going to see has been sold already so no big box of spares yet sadly.
Would love a telehandler but they fetch too much money normally. Your 3CX would have post dated my 3c2 by several years, I've attached a pic of the old girl in the gallery.
Have just replaced the first 60 or so hoses and the steering has died so I'm in the middle of trying to find seals for the orbitron although I've got a used spare which I'll probably fit and a new pump. Annoyingly it was all fine until I fitted new steering hoses, s*d's law I guess. I bought her over a quarter of a century ago to clear a load of old wartime bases from part of my fields and she's been an absolute godsend ever since, she's even responsible for several houses' footings in the village
The 2 post lift is waiting for the rebuilt Nissen Hut where it'll normally live, it's a lot wider than our old one so needs modifications to the hut hence being out in the open at the mo. The four poster may have to be in line with it unless we can successfully widen the hut with adequate clearance for tall vehicles.
I've also done a couple of pics of the 'tyre bay' where we have very old but functional diagnostic, smoke test and 4 wheel alignment plus of course tyre changing and balancing. The mondeo on the 2 poster is a friend's and would you believe it, another needing a front wheel bearing. Why is it that the amount that needs doing expands to t+24hrs or thereabouts?
I've created an album called Bubba's Home so you can get a flavour of where she lives.
