workshop space needed!
skinned knuckles - 24/1/10 at 08:35 PM

my build is just about reaching the point where i cant go any further until i get a bit room to carry on.

the shed im building the chassis in is fine but the narrow alley i have to get down to get there isn't. I can just about get the chassis down there turned sideways. So now i need space to store the donor, strip the donor and complete the build. thing is, money is even tighter that it was when i started the build so i cannot rent anywhere decent, so what i offer is:-

a small ammount of cash for the inconvenience
access to all my tools (3 types of welder, cut off saw, drill press, 2 sizes of angry grinder, bench grinder, jigs, drills etc)
assistance with the heavy bits you may be doing yourself
company and a great cuppa.

anyone local (ish) to me that could help out?

i have a parking area but no garage, I would do all the work in the parking area but for 2 reasons. 1, i dont want to be limited by the weather and 2, Mrs knuckles doesn't like the look of cars in various stages of completion/dismantling in front of the house.

Poss business opportunity - fnd commercial let, sub divide it into bays, find sub lettees. Start a car resto club. Some shared tools etc. Common interests. Everyone wins.

Seems like a good idea but it would really depend on cost as, having finished mine and just doing the odd bit of faffing, my single garage in now sufficient (but a little more space would be a nice luxury). Security would have to be a consideration too. It wouldn't take long for word to get round that there was lots of steel and tools in one place.

I feel your pain, I rented next doors garage until they sold the land it was on, finished my build outside, then rented a lockup 1/2 mile from home, no light or power now have gone in with 2 others to rent a barn with power and light and loads of room, its a little more than a lock up to rent but 8 mile from home
