No need to drive onto it, just role the cars on from the ramp.

Would having additional storage like you have increase your business rates? Its like having a mezz deck .

Great job beats moving.

Thought this was Jano's workshop?
There's a build thread on his website saying he built it?

Good way to stop some cunt nicking your pride and joy as well if it's up there and you can easily disable the lift

Racking has been a great investment, glad I carried out my idea now, as it really has made my garage a lot bigger.




Still not managed to find time to paint all floors but the walls are all white and the lighting is all done, also have separate lighting and plugs under each bay to be turned on if I need it.

Having a mezzanine floor built behind the camera shot for my office which will crate more room and be more tidy too.

Good idea, very nice that. Do you specialise in fords or are you a multi franchise garage mate?

Thanks, I seem to attract a lot of Fords due to owning a few myself.


But I build/work on all mate.

Just finished a nice Rota built and also got some 2JZ's on the go, Jap seems to be the way forward tbh with customers who are willing to spend.


Tempted to buy an RX7 myself soon.

Nice mate, I fancy a rotary project myself.
I had a Turbo 2 years ago and it sounded the part and it flew until it blew a rotor tip!
Love the 3 or 4 rotor stuff

Have been looking into those too pal, Mad Mikes Triple Rota is mental and have spotted some quad ones that have been built now as well.

If I get an RX7 I can see it being silly
