Builds Rebuilding a 40 but no longer in a 1 car garage. (1 Viewer)

[waiting for time]

Starting a new chapter on my build.
Just recieved the key to a new work space.
The next few months will be about setting up shop and then getting her done.

And next is... No more waiting for time?

 

[KY Longhunter]

LOL, I like the new space!

Someone took your project!

There is only one time to get your space organised.
First coating on the floor then the car in there.

And next is... No more waiting for time?

Time wil remain an issue, it will be a case of creating time.
biggest difference will be no extra time to clear the part you want to work on and get everything back in the garage before finishing. One hour work takes 3 now.

There is an other big + in more space, more room for toys.
Got my hands on a 720L compressor with a 500L tank.
Having 400v also creates options for the future.

Expanding the space.

Very nice expansion! Is this a prefabricated structural system?

 

[waiting for time]

Yes it is called entresol, designed to create extra space in higher buildings such as warehouses. It can be build freestanding in a space.
We got lucky. Found an almost perfect fit used on the Dutch version of CL.
We just have to open up the stairs and move the fence from the existing floor.
Downstairs is going to be workshopwhile upstairs storage and mancave.

Awesome space, you are very lucky to have something like that. Enjoy

Thanks, I will.
It is not easy finding a space where I live.

Next step will be a hatch with a winch above. And floorboards.

 

[78fj40mg]

Very nice system! I've checked for entresol dealers and was not able to find any, where did you source yours?

 

[waiting for time]

Maybe under industrial mezzanine.

Getting ready for tools.

Cleaning the air during welding and grinding.

Preparing for a hatch with basic hoisting system to get stuff upstairs.

 

[racemaniac]

Nice!

Arrgggghh! That's just wrong. Sterile environment for working on a Land Cruiser? Well organized? C'mon it just ain't right. Old FJ40's gotta get down in the dirt or at least a highly cluttered garage, grease, oil and unknown fluids smeared floors, dirty overalls metric and sae tools scattered willy nilly, leg cramps from contorting to get the best angle for removal of a stubborn greasy heavy part. You are spoiling your unit. Is this how it's done in Africa or South America? NO!
man I wish I had a set up like that.
