Very interesting link, appears to be mid 90ies. It's the collection off the person that owned the garage from the fifties till late seventies. Over 600 cars were stored there.
Wonder what happened with them...
Yeah the Lotto would able me to do some cool stuff with that place ;)
The city off Ghent made a monument off it, it will most certainly become a public space...
Just found these pictures off an amazing garage in the centre off Ghent, Belgium.
This was first a circus in early 1900s until the second world war. After the war it was sold to become a Renault and afterwards Fiat garage. Closed it's door in 1978 and stood empty ever since.
Pictures were taken...
Had time to work on a workbench last week.
Wanted to make a mobile bench.
Instead off going out and buy wood I decided to use an old cabinet that stood in the shop.
I cut off the legs and added wheels, then I chopped off the top half and put an old door for the top.
Cost me 0€ :)
The office will become a miniature living room, where I can go to enjoy a beer when it get's colder.
The option off leaving one wall in brick might be a good idea.
For the other walls (behind the workbench and behind the 181) I'm hesitating to use a color instead off plain white. Would like to...
I was able to move in most off my stuff this weekend.
Lot's off storage space underneath the mini office.
Still thinking about where to park and how to create workplaces.
Couldn't resist hanging my "garage" neon light :D
I want to make a workbench in between the high cabinets off the old...
Thanks guys,
It's big indeed for being in the centre off one off the biggest city's in Belgium.
I plan on restoring old VW's and Porsches in there.
Currently I'm restoring a '72 911S that about ready to be blasted.
If I would go the floor heating route I'll remove the slab and start over...
The plans are:
A total repaint
Build some work benches.
Change the roof to insulated sandwich panels or if the roof is good enough simply insulate it.
When funds allow put in a heatpumpboiler and floor heating.
I want to be able to store 2 cars and have place to do one restoration project...
