Looks remarkably like our shed!
Can't beat a nice big shed in my opinion
Great work, keep it up.
By the way, did you have a project thread for your clubman?

You could do it easily, get a thin bit of metal tube and then have two small pipes branching off then weld on whats almost like the inside of a bearing race and roll them like you would roll an arch
Hassle but worth it.

Fine then, rounded metal ball, drill and tap a hole in the centre, get a flat 1/2 bit of steel as a load leveller, drille and tap, then just tighten it up with a ratchet and let the swaging commence.

Boot floor is from some 'modern' mini ;).
