Well I thought I would start a thread seen as my garage is about built.
Im a qualified mechanic and do jobs for myself.
I used to rent a shed with a ramp, tyre machine ect. But as it was £320 a month i decided to give it up and get a garage built at home.
This is the only picture I can find of my old shed.
And here is a few of my new garage.
Im looking at getting a 2 post ramp once the driveway is finished. Got 40ltrs of floor paint and lots of cheap white paint for the walls.
I will keep this updated for anyone who is interested with jobs and stuff im up to

Well ive had a few cars in and out the garage now, this is the only one of interest tbh
A mate of mine bought it, being told it had a set of cams in it because it was running lumpy 
It has got a few good bits on it, m-tech shafts, mounts, quickshift and a BTB manifold. The car also used to have a disc brake back axle on it so it had a brake bias valve inside too.
When I started it I knew straight away it wasnt because it had cams in it. Done a compression test and it didnt have any compression on cyl no4.
Put the spark plugs back in it and went to reverse it out the garage and there was no drive So needed a gearbox too
So I set about removing the head to find the problem with no compression
Turned out to be 4 bent valves in cylinder no 4 
Luckly enough i managed to get some valves from a friend, reground all the valves, changed the steam seals and built it back up.
It fired straight into life on 4 cylinders, result 
I then sourced a gearbox for it, removed the f20 that was in it. It yurned out the input shaft was snapped
New box in it
I also fitted an epas coloum, but ive no pics of it with the dash out.
Managed to source him a set of speedlines for £200. Makes the car look 100x better than the team dynamics wheels.
These pics were taken just before the owner came to pick it up.
That is all for now

Your wee garage is something else mate, makes mine look like a wee hut
The old unit was pretty sound as well!
We should have an orgy in your garage one night.
