[Call me the Breeze]

Welcome the the board Styler! I bet it's exciting for you to have a new place! Looks good!

Is this Build in Bunbeg? was there about 12 years ago, just looks like the same desolate road in the background with a view to the harbour

 

[Motown 454]

Welcome. you'll have a nice shop there.

 

[Aristotle]

That must be the only building project in Ireland at the moment!

Looking good, you have a lot more space over there than most of us do in crowded England.

That has what we in the states call a good rustic/craftsman look. I like it! Looks good! Are you planning on painting the outside?

 

[Jack Olsen]

[styler]

not been doin much lately as ive started a college course.. but been doin a bit of painting, 2nd coat finished... needs another.. bought some cheap paint... used about a litre of it... was really transparent... so bought a decent brand and coated it up.. another coat should sort it..

 

[styler]

getting there... some of the cars in for .. still three more needing a home...

 

[Sunbimmer]

Nice garage, nice cars...love it

 

[styler]

well thats my mancave more or less finished for now.. untill i win the lottery at least, big screen TV and tile the floor to complete it...

anyone have any idea where i could source black and white vinyl tiles in ireland... not having much luck on the net...

 

[GBsnoopy]

Maybe i missed it, were there any internal dimensions listed as the photo with all the cars in makes it look huge.
Maybe people like ecotile and mototile have branches in Ireland?
Nice collection of VAG cars too.

 

[styler]

its 20'x30' internal measurement, can get 4 cars in but there isnt room to get around them.. i planned to have 3 only, but i gathered up a few cars since i started building it..

there are,
3, B2 audi 80
1, B2 audi 90
1, B4 audi 80
1, B1 audi 80
2, mk3 golfs
1, mk2 golf

they're no show winners or anything, quantity not quality..

 

[dubber]

very nice VAG home. I approve

 

[styler]

very nice VAG home. I approve

[firecracker]

Nice build styler, has the outside got to be painted a particular colour or do youpick your own ????

 

[kyle@hcb]

Looks great!

na wont be painting it, out in the country here no regs like that..

havent done much for a while, its a bit neglected and messy at the minute, still have to make ramps and finish concreting the yard, but money is tight here at the minute, not been employed for almost 5 years, so until that changes there wont be a lot done.

 

[styler]

happy new year..

 

[styler]
