Awesome shop and collection of customer cars. Inspired by the organisation of that hardware, have to tempting to put 1 piece of place and see if anyone notices! Epic work on keeping it clean!

Nice looking cars, looks like a nice sized space to start with. Have to say having a separate space that is a 'dirty' workshop away from the cars would be a good addition.

The new prints on the wall, need to fill in the pillar to the left with small A4 size metal signs but they are cheap and easy to find. Replaced the tailshaft, dropped in the spare diff i had and took it for a drive. Back end totally locked up... turned it the diff was dry either the previous...

Looks great, hopefully your shed laptop is better then mine which not all the keys work!

Hey Matt, i do use CAD to do the design and analysis of parts and then a general fit up but i still come back to making a wood mock up of how things are going to work ergonomically. Clearances in CAD always look huge until you have to fit a spanner and your hand in to do up that bolt or find out...

Sorry very late reply! Thanks hnsy. Not made huge progress on the garage, been playing with the car as it heads into our summer and getting it sorted for hopefully a lot of driving! When winter rolls around plan to get back into project building and garage upgrades. My compressor has died, so...

Great looking garage, i always loved the idea of an old stable into a garage and your execution is outstanding. Nice collection of cars, would be happy to have those to pick from each time you go out there, though might keep a 3 series instead of the audi but that is just for commuting :). The...

Wow, there is some amazing work in here. Thanks for posting.

Will keep going with posting in my own thread :P Added a whiteboard and took the clubby for a coffee meet up. Also changed it to be on club plates, which are 90 day use plates that historical or replicas of historic cars can use over here. Did a lot more design work on the single seater mono...

Sadly i cannot lay claim to the tube frame chassis, the guy who made it is on a clubby forum in Australia. The car has since been picked up by Race car replicas, the performance is said to be impressive. My current designing is a aluminium monocoque, will see how that goes as its a abit of fun...

Updates from last night activities: A BMW 3 series does not fit a 600x600x460 tool chest FYI... i had to go home and get the wifes fiat much to the guys amusement. It also changed from being under bench to being under fridge, a better solution as i no place to put the esky and will probably...

Awesome building, would love a space like that. Good luck with the build up.

Future plans • Under bench cabinet/draws – Pick up a unit tomorrow night that I won on ebay for 1/3 price of one in the shop. Brand new, so happy with that. • Get some kind cabinet to hold the fridge at a nice height, struggling for ideas so may be a black or blue filing cabinet if I can find a...

Upgrades to date Floor First job was to paint the floor with epoxy paint as every other garage I have worked in has ended up with oil stains which are never coming out! Really happy with the result. Toolbox, cabinets and benches Toolbox: Next was to get a new toolbox, had been eyeing off...

Intro: Been reading this site for a long time and saved 100s probably 1000s of pictures of others garages for inspiration so decided to put some up of my humble (was looking at some of the save pics and keep thinking wow I have a long way to go!) garage in return. We built our first home in...
