But if you builds it the same size as the series then no one will be able to get in and nick it

mine lives in the yard poor buggers not seen a garage for over a year

Some fairly accurate dimensions give here - so a bit bigger than they say....leave room to get yourself out too...

If you really wanted you could make it fit in with no roof and then flat pack it down the side of the garage

You'd probably want room for tools, engine crane, welder, welding bench, chop saw, iron plate, a pile of "spare" doors, two roofs, two tubs, an extra chassis, a pile of random wheels, some crap of your mates....or is that just me?

I've got an industrial unit and I still can't get me Landy in

You forgot the 3 axles, 2 gearboxs and that engine waiting fer a re-build

Oh and the ****ing spare diffs that I trip over every time I make a brew...oh and the rusty TR7 that I bought when I was ****ed

TR7!!!? :hysterically_laughi

If it's any help the S3 swb with hard top is 3.62m long, 1.69m wide and 1.95m high. (on standard 6x16 tyres) I don't suppose the s2 is much different. As for the garage, how good a parker are you and how fat are you?

I know...with any look in about 6 months time I should be able to just sweep it up its rusting so fast...wonder if there is a use for the engine...

if your looking for dimensions for your landy try this site SERIES I, II, IIA, III SPECIFICATION
gives height, length and width plus other specs

You will need as much space as you can get. Once you start taking it to bits it will treble in size at the very least. And dont get thinking you will buy one that wont need work!

when getting a series landrover... no shed is big enough! However a single garage type size would do but if you want to do any work on the car you would have to drive it out and work on it outside, so you can actually get to the tools! Really a double shed (double car size... i dont know about measurements really) would be the smallest size I would want to work with, as a bench, tool boxes, crane and welders will take a lot of space up too, and they will become essential really.

I have a 42' long shed thats 2 cars wide and its full and tight to work in... keep it tidy! and have a large enough area to use for spares outside. Many would call it a scrap yard but i beg to differ Or just keep it tidy, that would help too lol!

You need at least one engine and/or gearbox on your garage floor plus a diff, bowls of oil, piles of parts you will never use plus all the other cr@p like waterskis and odd bits of wood. Park the landy outside

I did a chassis up rebuild with a standard house garage with parts stored in back garden 1st time and in a separate garage the second time.
Bit difficult working around it in last winter when changing engine to 200di but managed.
