Too big because license dept over here only allows you to go 1 size up in rim diameter unless you get an engineers report. Most police patrol cars leave you alone unless they are sticking outside the wheel arches.
Hutchy17.. just go over the pits with a set of 14" 5 stud rims and change once you've been over. Keep the 14s as spares for next time you need to go over

Progress has been glacial on this project due to many things, not least building a new house.
So my house is nearly complete and I start thinking about a shed. The house is on a funny block that is one title but is 2 lots. So I build the house on one side covering one lot leaving the other one free for selling or building another house later and in the meantime I can build a big shed......
Except I can't - council regulations won't let me build a shed on the other lot because you cannot have a shed without a house. I have a house I said but they said it doesn't count because it is on a different lot. So I argued that it was one title and I will be living there as if it was one lot but they won't budge - I can't even put up a garden shed never mind a workshop shed
And I built my house on the other lot so that there is no room for a shed on that side either.
I don't know what I am going to do but my options are limited :
1. Build a shed without council approval and hope they don't notice.
2. Rent a shed elsewhere
3. Put everything in storage
4. Scrap the project - I will probably be 90 by the time I finish it anyway.
Option 1 is possible because the shed I have in mind is low roofed and won't be seen from the road and the neighbours don't care
Option 2 and 3 are probably too expensive for me.
Option 4 is the most likely
But in the meantime I decided to get it to a rolling chassis stage so it is easier to move. The firewall mods are complete so the chassis rails mate up to it and are ready for welding (everything is just sitting in place in the photos with 2 tek screws holding it)
But at least it looks good on wheels
So do you think it is worth continuing or should I scrap it and spend all my money on a full motion race simulator and VR ??

I would go with option 1 but get approval. My suggestion would be build a large shed with "living quarters" inside

Sounds like you had your options list the wrong way round
Not sure what costs of a large shed would be (but this is negligible because you want to build one anyway), so the costs of building a bathroom and an open plan living area wouldn't be too bad. My guess would be less than 10k. Probably just a drop in the grand scheme of things. It would a great place to stay when I come up and help put the brumby together
