What do you guys use to store and carry all your tools etc. I was thinking about building a wooden 2 ply, light weight cabinet with a handle and drop down front to work on car with all the bits and pieces stored inside. Like a mobile workshop. I have also seen toolboxes on wheels which are ok around $50au. I just remember when i was younger going to the RC air fields and the old guys with these walking workshops.

I just put everything into a decent sized toolbox. When going to the track only the things I need go into the box. Things like rags n stuff gotta stay at home or in the jeep in the parking lot. When I pack for the track, Im impressed what I can fit into my toolbox minus the things I really don't need.

l3asher love that toolbox that's the sort of thing i am looking for not a bad price either they are slightly dearer her in Aus @ $204 but look like they are worth the money.
Went out and purchased a small light duty air compressor if you dont have one in the workshop go and get one these little units clean the car in minutes and get right into all those hard to get at places.

I've been mulling over getting a small compressor for a while now. I'm thinking a 1 or 1.5 gal would be plenty. What did you get? I guess the capacity of your would probably be in liters,but I can figure it out. I live in an apartment so compact size is a large factor in my choice.

the unit i got 2hp 77ltr per min (20gal works great is slightly on the noisy side may be issue if you live in an appartment but only runs for a few minutes to charge the tank then i turn it off a tank full is normally enought to clean the car. I paid $130 au
