Nice space! I'm sick of tripping up over stuff trying to work in the garage... but also glad I'm not working on cars out in the open anymore.

Long term, it's hopefully a residential development site (subject to planning), but short term I'm going to finish building the late Chris Cox's racecar in there, put the Quicksprint back together in there, put new wings on and paint Nº96, a carmine auto Sprint I collected a few weeks ago, and rebuild VA579...oh, and put a Stag back together too...OK, better make that medium term!!

Is that a filled in inspection pit I see? Looks close to 2000sq ft, I hope you have some heating!

its good to have a toybox for your collection but as i keep finding out it soon fills up. I've outgrown mine again so rented a container unit to store all those useful parts which freed up a a car space which i then filled with a sandblaster, metal former, powder coating set up and few other bits.
Anyone have some spare space I can rent? :lol:

I have two LPG fired space heaters for sale at present mate. Ideal for that kind of area. Only a weeks use before the insurance said they shouldn't be used in a warehouse of 27,000 pallets of paper. These are the ones.

My brother heats his double barn premises with one of these on lowest power setting, it runs for about five minutes per day.

Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, with some Anglo Saxon mixed in, now she's an adult. The freak.

I have a slightly smaller one of them, its great for taking out that early morning chill. they are very noisy tho.
