Wah wah wee wah! That is a seriously impressive set up you have! And even more impressive cars! Well done sir!

Wow leg, what a garage and set up !!! Some beautiful cars there. Well done sir.

Thanks guys, it's been a right bloody journey to get there all round but finally it's done, although I do have space for 2 more cars.........

Been in my current single garage set up for the last 15 years, perfectly adequate when I moved in as it was just to house bike's, but since I've had the Griff, its been plainly a struggle.



So first thing off, demolition time.




Then lay some base, in sections due to size.













Then erect a 20ft by 18ft extra high garage, 7ft6 to the eves, highest I could go to.







Then paint the walls white to brighten things up.




Add some plastic sectional flooring, all clips together and the one I choose which is plasfloor, is a lot better value than other one's on the market.




Had electrics fitted and then fill it with car and bike stuff.










To say I'm chuffed is an understatement, so much more room now, though pretty sure ill fill it with crap soon enough.
Compared to some of the lush jobbies on here its not a palace, but for me its heaven.

Err, 1 space left. Ive signed up for the Ginetta GRDC next season and took delivery of my G40 on Monday, was testing at Snetterton Tuesday,

Must, stop, buying, cars.

It does look smart... But that Old Yamaha spoils it a bit... Would you take £50 for it? I can pop round and take it off your hands :-)

OK, so just about sticking to schedule. Can you spot the difference?...

Painted the inside walls with umpteen coats of Sandtex Brilliant White Ultra Smooth. Got in all the nooks and crannies of the stty '60s breeze block walls by thinning it down to buggery. Took ages, but well pleased with the result. Managed to get a few splashes on the floor/roof/woodwork just to make it look like I wasn't trying too hard. Probably wouldn't have started if I wasn't bored stless while recovering from having my appendix out back in Aug.

Then fitted a cumulative 46 ft of T8 cool white fluorescent tubing. 6 off 5 ft fittings on the roof and 8 off 2ft fittings low down on the walls. As you can see it's now quite bright. Managed to get a good moody shot of the Pug while I was comparing two different colour temperatures on the 2 ft tubes.

Also stuck a few sockets out there for charging the phone/running a stereo.

Did all the wiring in 20mm conduit. Figured that would offer mechanical protection and give me the flexibility to run the lights on different circuits without having a million runs of twin and earth going everywhere, making the place look untidy. Despite that, some of my bends are a bit questionable, so it still doesn't look like I was trying too hard, even though I really was. I reinstalled half of it because it just wansn't right.

Turns out I'd be ste as a quantity surveyor. Did sums, reckoned I'd need 30 m of conduit. Ordered 30 m from Toolstation (or so I thought). Realised when it was delivered that I'd ordered 30 off 3m lengths. Lucky I did - have about 5 lengths left. A lot of it went in the bin before I figured out how hot to get it before bending.

Not sure I'd use conduit again, but I'm not massively keen on any of the alternatives, so maybe I would. Anyway, it's done now, so I can get on with keeping the Rallye alive. It needs a bit of TLC at the mo, but that's another thread.

Looks like you've got enough head height there for a car lift.
