My small garage set-up

Hi guys, i've been lurking on the forum for a good while now and thought it was about time I posted a few photos of my garage here in the UK.





Still a work in progress.

Regards,
David

Re: My small garage set-up

Not bad. I'm planning on painting my cinder garage this Spring. I also have exposed joists/roof and was not planning on painting it yet. Seeing this is promising because it doesn't look too bad .

Welcome! Nice clean garage! What Ford is that? Obviously something sweet that we don't get here.

Re: My small garage set-up

I only wish that my current attached garage looked that clean...lol. Either this summer or next summer, my wife and I are putting up a new 3 car garage, have the plans set at 40x60 with a loft for storage. I wanted the extra room for detailing, and I eventually would like to put in a vehicle lift for general maintenance and no more bending to detail side panels. We have a little over 2 acres of land, so space is not a problem.

Nice and uncluttered, I like it. You put a coat of wax on the cabinet doors? Those have some serious shine to them.

I think that is an early 90s Ford Escort RS2000 or something like that. Nice garage, looks well organized.

Re: My small garage set-up

Thanks for the kind words guys.
I'm afraid it doesn't look that uncluttered at the moment.
I'm in the process of stripping the car down to a shell in prearation for showing in concours this season.
I'll try and post some more up to date photos at the weekend.

By the way the car is a 1989 Ford Escort RS Turbo, Series 2.

Regards,
Dave

Re: My small garage set-up

Dave,

Take some progress pics of the Escort as you go and post it up in a project thread. That would be interesting!

Regards,
Dave
