Nope - some not even in a single garage. I am rebuilding mine (twice the work of building one) completely out of doors ! No issues with space I guess - completely unlimited headroom LOL shame I border on Wales and not California as the weather limits me to only working two weekends a year if I am lucky
Nope that was the single garage I built it in, though at least it had a bit of room for a bench at the end.Originally Posted by Guy Mayers
Now I have a double garage that is only 16ft square but it has stairs inside using up one area, and a 12ft Strat parked in front of that and a 14ft Manta parked tight against the bench I've got in this garage. So it's actually harder to work on the car there than in the past. Have to wheel out onto gravel and work outside if jobs need doing!
You only had a single, didn't you Guy?
You need a 'NoCorseChris' folding Corse awning Andrew?Nope - some not even in a single garage. I am rebuilding mine (twice the work of building one) completely out of doors !

Aye lad, but it has lived in a double recently. One up, one down....

Single garage near to (or attached to) the house is do-able, especially as some of the jobs can easily be brought into the warm in winter (permission pending from other house users). Before the bodywork and wheels are fitted there is a lot more space around the chassis, see my project here. Once wheels and bodywork are on it's a bit tighter, make sure you have somewhere to put the front and rear clams after this stage, or you will need to work outside. Put some foam over the chassis vertical door plates (and wheel studs) otherwise you'll be forever banging/catching yourself on those every time you squeeze past. When putting engine in, watch the ceiling.....
