well my garage looked like this when i did jagcorsa:-



then i gave it coat of paint:-



then finally me and dad got round to getting it propperly sorted so i have somewhere to put my tools which i am finally buying and not using dads and loosing them - hehe

so we found few bits and peices on the car and made this, cost total of around £20 for hindges etc to make, bargin i think, it will soon be multi coloured when i start painting my car soon! hehe

need to get a vise next now i think......... oh and another air pipe for 2nt compressor! i am happy with how it looks now tho,

Looks good m8. The least amount of flat surfaces (like work surfaces) where you're spraying the better as dust builds up on them

You can get single phase examples.

I have a 2 poster (3phase) example coming 1st of March £3.8k + vat but you can get them cheaper.

4 poster can be found second hand for as little as £400!

It still needs work, we did some alterations, bricked up some entrances etc. put the big metal door on, removed the metal staging and filled in the pit that the workers stand in (which was full of stagnent water, mud, cow dung and dead calf which fell in and drowned about 10 years previously, wasn't deep enough to keep as garage pit) then painted the floor, then moved another wall to make the place a bit more secure so its still a bit dusty etc.

Wants the roof panelling as well, once thats done we'll give the floor another lick and it'll be fairly nice!
