Hi all,

I miss my old RS's....no doubt about it, and having recently given up Motorcycle Trials I fear a return to MKII's a calling'

Question is though, how, or where do you guys work? I've got yer typical single car garage (albeit slightly longer than normal) and lok-blok driveway....and so I just wondered if it is enough room.

I helped built a Seven replica some years ago in a single garage, but a full bodyshell is another matter....and last time I worked on an RS I had a huge boat building shed to spread myself around. Hmmmmm?

Ideas?, Hints?, Tips?

Ian.

I'm sort of Lucky I have a garage you can just get 3 cars next to each other very snuggly! if I removed all the following but I share it with patio furniture and kids bikes a dangerous combination with newly painted car LOL

have a look under Car World + RS2000 Resto + "The Garages" here!

It's a pain and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But it CAN be done! My single garage is in the South of France, however, so 320 days a year I can work with it open.

For two years we had a house with a double garage but the wife whinged all the time so I couldn't get on with the resto. Now I'm divorced but have only got a single garage. That's what you call bad timing!

Looks like a 250/350 LC you've got there Lee......like the RS it's a classic 80's machine in my book.
I remember hanging around the town square early 80's and it was nothing but escorts & LC's.....

I restored my 3dr (twice!) in a single garage. I hade about an inch at the rear of the car, and 6 inches at the front, and about q foot either side. Very hard work, you have to work tidy and everything Id removed from the car had to come into the house cos of the lack of space! :drunken:
