Thought i'd chuck a bit of a build thread up as am going along getting my new business premesis clean, tidied, painted and modernised a lot more than it is now!

Got the garage off a Friend whos always done all my MOT's etc... mega sound guy couldent of asked for a better landlord tbh! and hes got fooking good taste in cars! lol

Got in there 2 days ago and started the MASSIVE clean up and got some paint on the walls so everything had a basecoat on.

Its a 3 bay workshop with upstairs storage and an extension of the building which was used for bodywork once upon a time, i'll be using it for storage and the odd small bit of bodywork.

Will ll come on over the next 18 months or so as i dont have a money tree unfortuantly lol but we'll get there in the end

Will let the pic speak...



Main Shutter to the 2 poster bays



Front of the garage all signwork will be replaced soon too and the shutters are going black instead of multicoloured



2 poster bay before paint



other size pre-paint



4 poster bay need a tiny bit of paint lol and a brush out





2 nice sights over 1000 horse beetween them 2





end of the garage been used for storage



office needs a good brighten up!



Halfway through some paint, new flouescent in now as well so theres actually some light in there!





2 poster bays after a lick of paint!



Bit of a classic cossie in the ford scene



4 poster bay after a lick of paint!! bottom half had a second coat before i left before too so all nice and fresh



Tidied up that bottom end so its a bit more organised until its all moved to the landlord new place





Tomorrows job clean all that shite out, get all the thick oil scraped off the floor and de-grease it ready for some floor paint!!!

Also moved all the engines (3 YB blocks, 2 scooby blocks, 1 zetec, 1 CVH, scooby box, E36 evo box) out of the 2 poster bays into storage along with some gearboxes. 1 YB and and what looks to be an E36 evo motor left under the stairs as thats a fooking heavy lump!! so that looks miles neater.

Any holes in the wall have now been filled too so will dab some white over them tomorrow



:thumbs:

 

Nice work fella, I bet it feels good opening the door to some kind of order.
