Introduction & build prep

[Nismo1982]

So...first attempt at putting some pics on.

As mentioned in my first post I have been doing lots of prep and planning before I start the build official. First thing I wanted to do was 'pimp' my garage
Been in my house for about 9 months now and gratefully received the permission of the girlfriend to start work in the man cave now that she has all the furniture and 'stuff' she wants indoors.

I've got a double garage but with a blockwork partition wall down the middle so wanted to make one half a workshop and the other the assembly area. Got some paint on the walls and nice floor paint down so it feels a bit more homely.

Couple of before pics:

Hi there...
Welcome to another MX5 builder....
Looks like you've got a nice setup there to build your car.
Remember to post plenty of photos along the way.

Howdy Mark and welcome to the forum, I remember when my garage looked like that many moons ago ....it wont take long to fill that space up until you are stepping over stuff.....all part and parcel of the project unless of course you are a tidy OCD type lol

Hi

A bit of welding and grinding will soon make your place look a bit more "professional"

ah i remember single garagedom before i started my build

looks like you made a good start i would make as much storage on the walls as possible to maximise storage and floor space

if you plan on making your own chassis i found making your build board on the floor and making it flat and level to aid build accuracy then you can add another board on top of the tr tubes and fab up other smaller parts on top of that

later on when your chassis starts coming together make a dolly to push it out and spin it around

I remember in may 2008, returning home to find my freshly erected 28ft x 10ft prefab garage.. I ran into the massive empty space and whooped and laughed..

Now it's full of sh.....

Hi Mark, and welcome!
Nice working place you set up there, you could "eat on the floor"... not for long
We are looking forward to see the pictures of the first rails.

Good luck with the build
