My latest project GARAGE BUILD

[Nemo]

That's great, what a man pad. What's going on with the guttering down pipes?

[S1 RST]

These are just temporary, i still need to dig a hole for a 5000 liter waterbassin where they'll be connected afterwards so the rainwatercan be used for washing car etc

[S1 RST]

Some signs and tuff to decorate the garage i already moved from my former workshop 😎😎

[Derbyshire DUK]

Fantastic cave , good work

[S1 RST]

Small update, front doors are in, most of electrics wired in by myself and moved everything from former shop so am out of business atm as my two post lift ain't up yet, would be rude to put it in here as it was, so new coat of paint and a big service it is. Already had beam and hoist installed so most of vy spares, engines and air compressor are already up in the loft, hope to have two poster up somewher next week, work bench is adapted from former shop still outside in 2nd pic,still needs paint, and have everything cleaned up and painted by end of year

[S1 RST]

Some more pictures, most electrics are in, so there is light at the end of the tunnel 😎
Fresh paint on the two post lift as hated to put an old looking one in a new garage, lift is in very good condition, some new parts added and totally serviced with new hydraulic oil etc (was taken completely apart) so it looks like new, also finished workbench with some drawers underneath, next is to put the two poster in its definite position and mount it all

[S1 RST]

Two post lift KONI now up and running again as should, so back in business for some jobs this year 😋😋

[SteveRSF]

Top job there mate looking really good

[Nemo]

Well I couldn't de more jealous if you painted me green and renamed me professor jealous!

[S1 RST]

Not 100% finished as still some jobs to do, but ready for business



there is light




also all tool cabinets are in so it will be a clean looking environment, don't like a cluttered workshop, hope to keep it this way



​​​​​​​

workbench cleand and put some drawers under it, only hope it's good enough to hold an engine being made of IPE160



Two poster with some fresh paint, up and running again. For those interested, it is a hydraulic KONI one, yes the same company that makes shock absorbers, decent quality machine





Stuff still to do :

- in picture you see the middle wall has a big hole in it, there I wanna make a polycarbonate/Perspex cabinet to display some goodies I have such as 3-4spoke RS steering wheels, RS16i/cosworth camcovers. also wanna put the escort sign in and some trophees I won in concourse with my former RS2k and S1



- getting heating properly installed and working (already in the rear corner behind bench)
- put tool rack on wall on top of bench
- put some electrical sockets on the wall on top of bench
- close all electric guttering once all wires are in
- put some pneumatic lines against the wall, now only temporary with a hose
- still need to get water to the garage and afterwards put a sink and tap, already have a small electric heater so no need for cold water in winter
- dig a RECARO seat out of my basement and put it on a stand to have a decent chair
- get my fridge in there before summer to have cooled drinks
- probably some more but not in a hury anymore as now I can do all the jobs I wanna do

That's very kind Chris. Sadly I can barely get further than the garden gate these days. My twin boys have just turned 3 and keep me very busy.

that's a fase in life mate, enjoy iy they'll be teeners before you know, i've been there, girl is nearly14, boy nearly 12 so already a lot easier then when they were 3
it will change as they age, my son wasn't interested in cars, and i never pushed it in anyways, but it's coming nowadays, he 's even already talking of driving my S1 😉, he even wants to join me for the 15th birthday meet
as already said in other topics, already met some nice fellow owners through this forum, and RSOC years ago when it was still fun, some of em became good friends, helped a couple out when in trouble near me, even helped someone at the NBR getting correct parts to get him home, once went to have a look at a RHD car here in belgium for someone in UK, so had a look, made loads of pics and tried to describe as accurate as possible, my uk mates mate bought the car on this description, was well happy with it and saved him a trip to look at the car, but got help myself from people having parts sent to as seller didn't wanna send abroad, my best UK mate even drove couple hours to pick up a recaro interior for my daily focus and stored it at his place till we met in summer for a meet, Clayton once got me parts that were NLA at that time here in Belgium, top man he is
So every decent fellow enthusiast FRS owner is always welcome for a chat and a drink🍺 Also am pretty sure we as belgians have the best beers in the world, i know when over in the uk i mostly bring a couple for Clayton and my oother mate, and never had them complaining 😜😜
