Manta400barn Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 was jus looking at plumster's nice new garage got me thinking where does everyone work or store there manta And more importantly go take a picture sure there will be the usual everything from huge industrail buildings to small council lockups and then the poor soles who work from driveway or street " who usually manage a dam sight more than us more fortunate" Any way this is where manta goes to have work done sorry its not a pic of manta as dont have any full views of her in garage Opel Manta GTE Exclusive, 88E, Monaco blue, BBS multispokes alloys in anthracite, Spax kit, 400 bonnet, Engelmann mirrors, 4 branch, Clear front and side indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaMad Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have been working over the last few weeks extending mine into a double, tandem type garage. Getting there now, just the external wall to render, few bits to tidy up and the electrics to sort out, will post photos when finished.

Autoscum101 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I've progressed from working in the street to getting a small garage, then a bigger garage, then a much bigger lock-up, now i get a corner of my Dads stone masonry workshop (partitioned off - dust and oil dont mix very nicely, and if i get oil on the stones im DEAD meat!!) [xx(][xx(] I'll tell you something, the ONLY think bad about doing anything in the street is when the neighbours complain - some people seem to be under the impression that working on a car outside your house is a terribly unsightly/horrible/dirty thing to do, bringing shame upon the entire neighbourhood with your common, filthy, car fixing ways.

robah Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 My car is in an old WW2 grass covered hangar on an airforce base, with most of the facilities I need[], the only thing I haven't got is the enthusiasim[:I], to drive to it and work on it. I think it is because it is the out of sight out of mind syndrome.[][] I would take photos but I can't drive at the moment. Maybe when I am back on my feet, and I think I am going back to straight days rather than shifts[][] I will get more done. I wish the car was outside the house so I would be forced to work it every daylight hour. Rob robah@btinternet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
