Hey guys

Slowly on the way to finishing my 2.5m square workshop to work on bits for my land rover after giving up trying to find a suitable workshop cheap haha

Building it out of freight wagon flooring lol

Going to have a workbench and my pillar drill;

Am storing the chassis in a council garage down the road and will bring bits off it to home and work on them them take the back and fit them 👍👍

Ignore the bandit in bits haha that's my other project lol

That looks really good, if you have a cat flap type door, you could prop it up overhead and give yourself another 2.5m sheltered space (just without to walls).

Yea that's the conclusion I came to chrisy, thought if stood any chance of getting mine on the road I had to be proactive and build something because I really couldn't see a cheap unit coming up for rent in my area.

Construction Update

Floor frame down and levelled, Euro pallets laid and ex bed frame flooring screwed down lol

Centre joist mounted with special fabricated brackets which will be used to support chain hoist in the future
