A new home for my 'S'
Discussion
Hi all, not been on the site since S Club but this is the reason why. Please see below the new home for my S. Extension nearly finished and the car will be coming home next week! Only problem is the MoT ran out last week!
Only problem is I bashed the exhaust at Cosford and it needs repair. Does anyone know who can do it in the yorkshire area?
This will be the base for me for the winter: i'm going for the full strip down, so will be on here for advice regularly.

Nice garage, when you start on the chassis it's going to get dirty!.
Not sure how close you are but these guys did some kit car exhaust work for me and were very good - http://www.wunoff.co.uk/index.html

NICE GARAGE. My S is on holiday too its over the road whilst my extension is completed,its like a bomb site indoors and sadly my extension doesn't affect the garage (single) However not to be down beat at least its temporary home is a double so I am making the most of the all round access. Cleaned the rear screen tonight with plastic polish, its miles better, worth a try to any of you who have misty or marked rear windows. Also cleaned the wheels and ISCV with autosol and they are looking nice and shiny again. Anyway you enjoy that garage.
Nice garage 
Warning - it's not for the faint hearted and should be a warning to us all

Definitely Garage Envy, just needs a couple of additions:
Bar
TV
Wifi and a laptop for accessing the search engine when you get a problem, not that this ever happens.
Appropriate posters on the wall (but I have a feeling these may have to be toned down for your lad!)
A huge quanitiy of tools half of which you will not use but will make you look the part!
Could you also get a 2/4 post lift in there........
I have heard good things about Selby TVR but one of the Sheffield Independants maybe closer to you.

Another case of garage envy here, that's gonna be a really nice place to work. However I have to say Damn You 
You have just demonstrated how much I really need to get my walls and floor painted (I keep trying to put it to the back of my mind).
I am getting there ever so slowly though.
This is what I had when I bought the place 2 years ago. Looks like it belongs in one of the urban exploration threads doesn't it.
Replaced this year with....
And looking inside
From just inside the door
Now have the power and lights in. Bench, welder, toolboxes and various other stuff which I was trying to keep out until the painting was done are just making the task even more daunting. Still atleast I now have enough room to lift the body when I eventually find the time
ETA: What's up with the exhuast? Cracked or bent? Could waft the welder over it if you wanna take it off and bring it up... 5 mins from Castleford exit M62 (J31)
