What is your FJ40 Restoration Shop Garage Set-up? (1 Viewer)

[Trollhole]

My shop. I’m attempting to try and move to a 10000sqft building later this year but right now 3500 will work. Crazy to think I started with just 800sqft. There is a lot more but it’s split up into different sections. As well there are 40+ cruisers.

One day I’ll have the nice epoxy floors and a lift in every bay.

Here's my digs. 2200 sq feet, dirt floor and open sides. It gets a little dusty, but at least the FJ40s are partially protected from sun and rain. 1970 to left, 1966 at right. Getting real close to getting both in running condition!

Cool tractors!!

 

[TheHardWay]

Your FJ40 tractors should feel right at home with the International and John Deeres.

I never heard of Rossland, BC before so I thought I would check out the town on Google maps........I dropped my street view pin on the Rossland map and would you look at this.....I'm going to buy a lottery ticket. Clearly Rossland, BC is a totally awesome place

@Drake2 even odder that I lived in the house pictured for 10 years, 10 years ago

Whaaaaaat, how freaky is that

 

[cruiser182]

Not the biggest, but after having the 40 stored outside for years, it's a luxury to have four walls and a roof

The biggest luxury is to have shop space separate from the house/garage, so that you don't have to move or put away project pieces, parts, and tools in between times when you can work on them. Expensive but way worth it.

Here is my current setup, after construction was finished. Right now, it is filled with our household goods so I can't use it as a shop until we finish building the house next to it.

That's not fair! Awesome shop.

My shop is currently occupied by old ( new to me) equipment that needs attention before I can start with Rebuilding the 40.

Here is my set up. I’ve waited a long time to finally get to this point. It is a separate Morton building next to the house.

The lift is a recent addition and is a life saver over crawling all over the floor to work on rigs. I justify it because “it will save my back” long term, or so I tell my wife.

The building is also heated, which is a huge deal here at 9,100’ in the winters.

You have shared some amazing metal fabrication coming from that space. The addition of the mezzanine was interesting also.

Thanks, I’m trying to improve as I go.

Impressive assortment of machines, tools and equipment. With all this, are you planning to do several builds?

What a great thread. So many different work spaces. Here is my shop during the FJ40 restoration. I have since completely cleaned out the shop and repainted the floor and tried to add some form of organization to it. You just never know what is lying behind that garage door!

My 2 car garage has been my restoration shop. Lacking air conditioning... In Houston, Texas.

 

[Grant Woodbridge]

Did it in my 2 car garage.

Unfortunately we ran out of space in the warehouse. Had to move raw material into the shop space.
