Default my new garage workshop almost complete

well chaps i have been building my garage for the last few months
and have finally completed one side of it so i can house the s1 .i can now crack on with the other side which will take two cars when its finished.whats pictured below is the workshop side for restos etc and the other side will be to keep the good cars out of harms way whilst working on other cars.their will be a roller door between the two bays .i will put some of the first buld pics up later as their on another harddrive .basiccally its aconcrete structure with a slate roof with fully insulated walll which have been skimmed out and painted .floor was finished painted 24hrs ago .i just need to set up my tools and air within racks in the alcoves .






this last pic is of the second bay which i will now start getting finished to keep a couple of cars in a dust and moisture free envoirnment

That's not a garage, it's an RS shrine

Looks really well, good enough to live in should you get turfed out.....

Really like the 3 door outline, where does one get himself one of those??

Have to drop down to have a look in real life

When you havin a garage warming party

Nice garage!

If youre going for 5 extinguishers, youd probably be better off fitting a plumbed in hose reel with an AFFF feed.
