I wish.

Very interesting build. I notice that some building techniques are different on your side of the pond.

I have never seen concrete finished "rough" then ground down.

Very nice build. Did you lay the bricks? It appeared you built the garage yourself in the photos.

Looking great, almost there now!
Cheers Chris.

Outside nearly done keep the updates coming with the inside.

 

[azmontana]

Started knitting out the garage. My tool chest arrived.

Seems to be well built. The action on the sliders is nice not as good as snap on chests but then I didn't spend snap on money although I wanted to the wife wouldn't have approved [emoji16]

 

[Padi]

Are you going to paint the floor or put race deck in or something else?

Cheers Chris.

 

[155'Ringman]

Looks very tidy and nicely finished so far.
Interested in your experience with the toolchest as I've been keeping an eye on those on ebay.

 

[azmontana]

I'll be putting pvc tiles down eventually but leaving it for now.

From first impressions seems like a decent quality tool chest. Only time will tell.

 

[1/2 Cup]

I just really like how your garage has come up, well done.

 

[azmontana]

Finally done feels like it's been ages since the project started. Very happy with the end result. Drive way is still not fully complete due to bad weather.

Inside still organising my tools, parts etc

Some artwork I made.

E36 M3 Evo looks great in the garage.

 

[nsula_country]

Awesome job. Being completed must feel great! I am just starting my shop build. Soon I will start a build thread.

Cheers

Yes really happy with the build. Currently still organising my tools. Anyone interested in learning more about my setup?

garage is looking great! we're currently having plans drawn up for a new detached garage and looking to go 8m wide by 6m deep. what size is yours?

 

[YZFMax]

Great job with the garage.

 

[MattRich]

Big thumbs up, great build, nice cars, but the artwork is the best bit!

 

[Bib Overalls]

Will you have a stove or some other heat source for the winter?

 

[LCG]

At first i thought you had a lot of space left but when the neighboor wall came back its amazing how tight is built.

Congrats looks amazing. Very interesting way of laying bricks

Thanks for all the kind comments. More updates to come.

I lived in Germany for a number of years where I built up my off road ktm bike in -20C weather. I'm sure I'll be able to handle the milder UK winters. Also the garage is fully insulated once you start working in there it gets pretty hot quite quickly.

 

[bazzateer]

Looks great!

As does the M3. My 318is would look so good with those wheels and the M3 body kit. Is yours Montreal Blue? If so, same as mine.

 

[azmontana]

It's techno violet [emoji2] first project is a light restoration on the hartge h26 will take some pics of that soon and share.

 

[1Garageman]

Great job! The garage really looks great!

Now you need to show off your tools with pictures.
Starting with that Air Compressor, what kind is that??

 

[azmontana]

Apologies for lack of updates. I have been busy with the work on the Hartge. I've taken some pics to show some more details of the garage.

Sink and shelving unit which has a number of parts. 4th shelf hold all my detailing products and my DA.

My workbench which I made from timber 97x44mm the work top is 5mm thick mild steel. Very strong and sturdy as the frame sits on top of the legs. The compressor is Clarke 150L compressor. I wanted it specifically to sit under the bench otherwise it would have been wasted space. I am happy with the results.

Tool chest and tool cabinet. Holds pretty much all my tools, specialist tools are held in the cabinet.



I've been working on the Hartge. I needed somewhere to organise the parts I was removing. So I went to Ikea and bought these storage boxes, does the job nicely.



Current progress on the Hartge, its receiving a light restoration so basically I'm replacing most components on the car from HT leads, to servicing the injectors etc.

I've also been polishing the M3, paint has come out really nicely.

 

[Padi]

Looking good mate, any other pics of the Hartge?
Cheers Chris.

 

[Roccotune]

Looking good dude - How big did you end up going? Looks comfortable inside, would 3 cars fit?

[azmontana]

Will post more pics of the Hartge once I've finished the light resto.

Yes plenty of space inside. I will be able to fit 3 cars inside. But when working 2 cars is better as more space to move about.

 

[Scottishross]

Looks stunning mate

Looking majestic in the snow.

Bought this tool cart. Has come in handy a few times.

 

[azmontana]

So haven't updated this in a while. Light resto on the hartge turned into a full resto

 

[nsula_country]

DAMN SON!! Going full on out of frame OH!

[azmontana]

But I'm still making time to get out and drive when I can [emoji2]

 

[kensbey]

This is awesome! Subscribed. Love the build and the cars! Fellow e36 owner, wish mine was an ///M. Yours looks perfect, good job on the polish.

 

[azmontana]

Always nice to hear from fellow bmw enthusiasts. The m3 recently had a water leak from the rad so I replaced it. While I was at that I decided to do the valve clearance. Feels like a different car only 3 shims replaced but it's made a big difference.

 

[azmontana]

Finally got round to rebuilding the head for the H26

Took the m3 out for a spin here a pic resting up after. Really fun car to drive!!

 

[kensbey]

Good job! Where do you get the shims from? do you have to buy them individually?

 

[azmontana]

For the H26 the adjustment is done via eccentrics. For the M3 their isn't a shim kit I know off. You can order from BMW dealers for £10 a shim or from Alfa classic for £3 a shim.

 

[azmontana]

Thread resurrection. I moved house but have the old one on rent so still have access to my old garage. Looking to builder a timber framed garage in the new house to keep costs down.

Also the Hartge H26 is now finally in for paint.
