Talking MY SCOOBY GARAGE very picture heavy

As some of you are aware I've been putting up a Garage at my house to house a Project car for 2013.
I did get get sidetracked due to getting a Job Febuary well got my 4rse into gear and it's nearly finnished.
















I fitted in all the Electrics and a Alarm system. Also fitted a Car alarm with remote locking units to unlock Auto-lock the doors.

The Prefab concreter garage was either VERY hot or VERY cold. I put up insulation covered it with OSB board. Also fitted 80% Window tints.








I then fitted my Old kitchen cupoards. The wooden handles sprayed yellow and the rest wrapped blue. To finnish the look off some whole car graphic's of fleabay £29. The fidge is also suitably topped up
The metal work bench thats sprayed Blue as is an old Red tool chest thats fitted into it. Worktops needed to be strong and got some beech solid 40mm block cheap off fleabay. At least now good stong so vice wont fall off





























The Floor is red 2 part Resin paint which has sealed the floor ish But as you can see I'm going for a PVC floor covering to finish it off.

















I think either a blue or yellow floor will be toooo much. Black and white chequer either hard to clean or never find what I've dropped. Any suggestions?

Tony

garage looks well mate, we got a light grey floor in our garage, seems pretty good to clean, find tools easily and stuff. think a yellow floor would be too much like you said :P nice garage though, the kinda place you could easily stay in for a very long time, got everything a man needs!

just hanled like a pig though Tyres were poor and on a road suspension setup, enging not as flexable. etc etc so lost approx 15-20 seconds of a lap which is a lot on a 2 mile lap

TBH the Driver wasn't 100% either. I expected it to act and handle like my old Type 20 on RE070's and sorted. So in a nutshell mostly my fault or Passenger wasn't screeming Faster Faster

I did but I wasn't being "smooth and quick" more "agressive and slow"

Top job - I want one but my wife doesn't think a decent garage should be part of the criteria when buying a new house

Great garage. Would be even better if it was double width

As for the floor. Maybe the blue for the floor in the workshop area and then grey for the rest of the garage.

That's excellent mate,really finished off to a good standard.
What size is the garage,
Did it come as a complete package ie...door,window,side door roof.
Were did you get it from.
Very interested in something similar mate.
Cheers.
