where do you do your projects?
now i know some people take their cars to pros to do and probably do a better job but if you are an amateur where do you do yours if its not on your drive/garden?
I wouldnt like to think of leaving my car in some garage miles away and can you even work on them in front of them?

I think a lot depends on available funds - your own circumstances etc tho

I appreciate though that not everybody can afford such a luxury, but it worked out well for me and is the only way I would/could have done a resto project

Your lucky mate… I got told off once for fixing my van in the car park.
Mind you it took the best part of 2 months. It was an engine change

Hmm, I've just started a bare shell resto in the designated parking behind my house :s
Hope nobody tells the landlord :mrgreen:

My garage was fill of crap once so I bought a shed, constructed it in an afternoon and shipped all the junk into that. The next day I threw all the proper junk in the back of the car and drove it to the dump. Cleaned the garage when I got back and slotted my car in.
I suggest you do the same mate, having your car in the garage is brilliant!

Re: where do you do your projects?
If there's definitely no way of using the garage, what about parking one of the two driveway cars on the street for the duration of the project? Depending how much you treasure them! Then your project can stay in front of the garage. Although, I don't know what your street's like in terms of space availability or if it's a rat-run etc?DannyEss said
Our drive fits 2 cars but there are already 2 cars on it. Have a back garden but nowhere to get it in there

Get the garage empy mate, shed sounds like a great idea. As long as theres nothing important in the garage, i.e its one of your kids bedrooms, lol

There is space in the street for them to park a car and on weekends there is normally only 1 car on the drive as my sister has horses so is out most of the day.

I'd go for the garage clear out, if there's any glimmer of hope! Even if you have to store some junk in your bedroom, it'll be worth it. It's the best way by far! Just tell your parents that at least that way your car will be out of their way and everyone else can park as normal! :wink:

Garage isn't a option for me as my parents have a trailer tent they bought and only used twice. :evil:
Uni in september to do a motorpsport engineering course and on weekend you can use the uni workshops, Can't wait they are like a surgery, white floors, walls, loads of space and all the tools i need.
