My garage Refurb

[bartman1980]

Firstly Hi, ive been on here a while looking at what other people have done and got some great ideas. There are some seriously amazing garages on here.

I inherited my garage a couple years ago from my late father and have decided i wanted to modernise it slightly and put my own touch on it.

My father ran his business from it servicing and repairing cars, i do a bit of stuff for other people but mainly restore classic mini's.

I have repainted all the walls and tool boards and built a new bench, and area for my pillar drill. i plan to plasterboard the celing and insulate between.

I also would like to modernise the lighting although unsure what route to go with this any ideas would be great.

I will update this as i progress

Here is a few of my Mini's and a few views of the garage before

welcome, the cars are so good. i have a very unhealthy and irrational desire for a vintage mini like these.

Looks like the comparatively narrow track of a classic Mini makes pulling over the service pit a real nail-biter!

Also, is that a B18 swap I spy?
