soooooo the red fiesta is a mk1 originally a 1.1, now a 1.6 cvh turbo. epic trouble getting the fooking engine in but getting there now
the white one was originally a 1.3 ghia, then a 1.6 cvh turbo, now a 2L zvh turbo. big plans for it though
baxters old shell will be lobbed back outside very soon and in its place wil be the estate for its rebuild.
my baby (light blue) will also be getting a nice big rebuild

Get the place wired to the mains fella, also, i gather the windows are boarded?
Big locks, chains, and a shotgun are also nessasary!
Dude the size of that gaff is unreal!

i found it on rightmove rich, no dodgy back handers here, all through bill wych in wellingborough.
craig i know the national is before pv but im gonna be pushing it getting them ready for june so i doubt they will be done for the national. one may be done though hopefully
sofas, kettle, posters - a must :-)
we've already got fridge, kettle, microwave. got the dart board already and our investor said a pool table can be bought as with a board across it its classed as a worktop ;)
Oh your usually an msn regular i thought lol
How is it pricewise? Im trying to find somwhere else, my place is a pain. Noise limits :(
well we have to respect the neighbours as its in the middle of funk loads of houses lol. price wise its funking cheap imo. its well under a grand a month ;)
THats a fooking awesome workshop/unit!!! :cool:

First off dude seen this in the "your garage thread" and yep it's a proper unit/garage.
Burgo, these are some things i would personally do, first off to stop prying eye's either cover the windows over with 10mm ply etc and paint black to face out, white to face in etc, this might also help keep noise down
(if you put some insulation boards (http://www.bmdinsulation.com/celotex-kingspan-insulation.html.htm)on the back it would keep noise down more and keep warmth in, so cheaper bills?)
Just some things i would do mate, plans sound good though for all the car's, are you scrapping Baxter's old shell or re-using it some how?
Scott
That unit is ruddy huuuuuge! Can't get over how big it is *ahem*

nice mk.2 there, would look hardcore sprayed black with the supersport spokes on it :cool:
how much does a place like that cost ? i gotta work in the sloppy mud by the roadside :cry:

Excellent hideout you got there Burgo. Both Ellen and myself would be more than prepared to move house to get a unit like that! Thumbs up and all that, happy spannering! :)
yes scott we are doing all security upgrades next week. already got a cctv and alarm system to go in aswell.
jimbob its staying white but its having a carbon bonnet, roof and tailgate. also going on capri pepperpots
If the shell is scrapped Luke can I buy the rear of it please?
shell isnt being scrapped but you may still be able to have the rear
Result, I just want the boot section, so cutting somewhere like the c pillars and where the back seat base would be, if you could let me know that would be great, sorry to spam your thread
That is one hell of a garage, I was slightly disappointed you found it on rightmove though... thought it was something you put together after your experience with the shed lol Looks awesome though, guessing we can expect some epic things to be rolling out of there since you made the estate in a cramped garage/on the road! :d

pepperpots will look the business too :thumb:
u might wanna look into the offset and wheel angles beforehand, as the FWD and RWD versions of those wheels are quite different i was told.

Aye they are. ET and width is totally different on the Capri pots compared to mk1/2 Fez.
I have a feeling he'll be running arch extentions though.
unfortunetly my camera was being gay so no pics :(. updates there is though
baxters old shell has has bottom arms put back on and been lobbed outside. worth it lol
white fiesta, bonnet off, all ancileries taken off, rad out, wiper mech and bonnet catch out, drivers door stripped down, all the boot area stripped down.
my blue saloon. wiper mech removed, servo removed, loom removed, windscreen removed, headlights removed.
i also treated the estate to some love. replaced a front side light bulb, wiggled rear light plug so rear light worked lol. the airbox off, clean the carb, checked the jets. dizzy cap off, clean all the connects up the plugs out, cleaned and gapped. then wd40'd all the leads. topped up oil and washer fluid then washed front and rear lights and front and rear number plates lol. bless it

Whats the best way to remove a nova windscreen?
two flat head screwdrivers and then you need a stanley to cut the sticky crap. a roll cage makes it a ****!!
lol good work mr burgo, shame you moved back to your home land lol but i would have for that size garage!
