I like your style.....tell us about your Fords in the garage....Cosworth engines?

 

[Down Under Bloke]

Nice garage and great garden too. I see you have an ****** fetish, what do you get up to with those

 

[cdrewferd]

That's a very nice garage. Got any info on specs of the garage and vehicles?

 

[graceloc]

Thanks for the comments fellas,the cars all have pintos in them, some are show cars others are fast road cars,as for the spec of the garage it was a design in my head, i never had any drawings for it, i just wanted something to go with my house.

 

[dink]

Show us your tools man

 

[PAToyota]

Great garage! I like the attention to detail - rafter tails, window stools, dutch doors... What's upstairs? I see the staircase but it doesn't look like there are any windows?

 

[RPH]

Like the style. Tells us more about the cars and tools.

 

[BoCRon]

What is the floor finish?
More pics of the inside, please .

Now I guess I can add another stop to my tour of Ireland when I come visit! Thats a nice little garage you got there with some top cars! Only one question.. you live in the countryside? I've never seen anyone in Ireland short of a sheep farmer with land to build a garage that nice! Just wondering... seriously nice garage.

Oh and what do you got going on upstairs?

Beautiful work sir!
It's nice to see things outside of North America. While we all have our own ideas and each implementation is unique in its own right, there are certain things that are a common thread throughout most garages here.

I can honestly say yours stands apart. It has that cottage/pub/old world craftsman flavor. Nice.

 

[graceloc]

few more pic's for you fellas,this is my house so you can see why i built the garage in the style it is.It is a total mess at the moment,the kids have a mid term break this week lol.

Awesome garage, welcome to the site from Southern Europe

 

[Matt2point4]

Wow, I love it all.

 

[HatTrick]

Wow! Nice place.

Where are you in Ireland? My brother and his family moved over there a couple of months ago. I'm not sure to what town off hand. He is a pilot for CityJet. Aside from being away from home, the whole family loves it there.

 

[graceloc]

Hi there, im from northern ireland, co derry.
heres another pic of my Dura kit.

 

[Iron-Iceberg]

graceloc, Very nice shop! I like how it looks outside. Not like a shop but a nice home.
One question I have is why do you have two man doors on the same wall just a few feet apart? At first I thougt they went into different rooms but from the inside I see they both enter the same room?

 

[Willy Victor]

Gracelock My DIL is from Tyrone. Great looking house and garage. DIL's uncle has a petrol station close to the border. Leo Nugent is his name, maybe you have been in there.

One question I have is why do you have two man doors on the same wall just a few feet apart? At first I thougt they went into different rooms but from the inside I see they both enter the same room?

The reason for the 2 doors is that i wanted it to look like two stable doors from the outside.

graceloc...

HOLY ****... I love that shop layout now that you posted more interior pics. Seriously a nice shop/garage you got there for sure. I always though County Derry was full of IRA murals? haha...

That Dura cab setup is nice as well... love it!

 

[rocco]

[Canadian Charlie]

I see you're a big fan of mark 2 Escorts

 

[htweelz]

[XtaC]

Nice ****** collection there mate.

Heres my first car

 

[joecaver]

I love your garage. You did a wonderful job on it. Looking at your pics and thinking about a few other garages from the other side of the pond I a realization. A guys garage is a constant, almost a universal language. It doesn't matter where we live or how we were raised a garage is the same everywhere.

Gerard,

Very nice looking garage, I really like the style and layout. I love your collection of ****** Mark II's.
Do I spy a red Raleigh Chopper in there too? Is it a Mark 1 or Mark 2? As a kid, I had a dark green Chopper (Mark 1) and it's one of many childhood possessions I wish I still had.

[graceloc]

[graceloc]

hello folks, been a long time since i posted on here,i have decided to build another garage in the same style as my other one, its about 25mx9m, heres a few pics so far.

 

[cyclopsblown34]

Amazing thread. I can't wait to see the new huge space.

 

[graceloc]

[cyclopsblown34]

That's one beautiful showroom.

 

[ruby76]

Yes, that is a great garage/showroom!!

 

[ssleepingbeauty]

That's not a garage, it's a Museum I really like the clock on the front of the building. Kinda makes it look like a town center building.
