Hi folks, doing this as a record of the garage build, and its development as a space to build and look after 2 Caterham 7's and a single seater, plus whatever other projects come and go. Its an 11 x 5.5 metre space, steel framed as I'm a fabricator, and clad in architectural cladding sheets then insulated between the inner and outer skins.

Frame folded so the flats follow the roof profile and the side. Makes it easy to fit the sheets, and I'm going to run the LED lighting in here to make it tidy

Cladding the garage with fireproof boarding. All cables for the sockets run behind the boards, so should give a clean look hopefully.

Caterham's are basically LOtus 7's. Caterham cars were an agent for Lotus, selling the seven. When Colin Chapman who owned Lotus decided the 7 had passed its sell by date, Caterham bought the rights off him, but it couldn't use the Lotus badge, so the Lotus 7 became the Caterham seven, and the development continues. Now plenty around at 300 plus bhp, in 500 ish kilos, so the power to weight is beyond most ferrari's etc. Incredible on track. I'm still accelerating when most folk are braking.
