It all started about 8 years ago when I visited Ford M-Sport to the lunch of the new Focus RS
The thing that also struck me was the facility that the WRC’s were built in….. space cleanedliness and attention to detail….
Here are a few photos from that visit…..
A couple of years passed and a house move later I acquired a modest 18x18 garage.
After looking round the net I found a site called the ultimate Garage and fell in love with their show garage and decided to model mine on there’s.
Although I didn’t have as much space and money I drew up my plans and February of this year saw the start of which was to be 4 months of hard work.
All work was carried out by me. I’ve had no training in any skills so it was all trial and error….
I wanted light and lots of it so fitted 8 doubles with 10 down lighters for display the cars in a nice light.
I also wanted power points all the way round so a total of 10 doubles were used all around the garage.
Another requirement was sound, I thought about piping sound through roof speakers but then I had the idea that when I’m in there working I’d like to watch some car/bike rallying/racing so I included a small LCD TV with built in DVD/CD player with free view.
The Garage is only going to be for cars. No pushbikes No garden tools or furniture so storage was no problem as the loft space would be used as storage for the car build.
With car space being a premium I only wanted to use one end of the garage for units. These are 2 double door types one single and one tall single on one side of the door and one double sliding opening on the other side with space for the tool chest.
Work top was to be stainless steel with splash back.
The walls were to be tiled and so was the floor.
Having never done a bit of tiling before it was a slow start, but I soon learnt and the pace picked up. 2500 tiles later the walls were finished.
