Workshop with Building Assistance

21 Jun 2013, 4:51pm
Hi Guys, Been reading these threads with interest. Would anyone fancy utilising a 55` x 35` workshop I have at my home in the Mansfield area?

I am an engineer by trade and previously owned a modern accident repair centre which ran for nearly 20 years. (gained Yamaha, Subaru, Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge manufacturer approval). I`m a skilled body repairer, so have plenty of experience in repairs and re-furbishment of motor vehicles. Used to do a lot of manufacturer leased vehicles, which underwent Ford, Rover Volkswagen inspections, coachbuilt vehicles such as box vans, lutons, curtain siders, motorcycles and F3 Dallara racing cars, so very versatile.

I am considering `renting` space and delivering assistance with the tricky parts of these builds, be it tuition or on your behalf for such as welding, body preparation, re-finishing and final assembly. I have all the tools you would need, such as chop saws, grinders, Mig Welder, spot welder, panel beating tools, pneumatic tools, sanding gear, dust extraction, everything you would possibly need for a professional build.

Looks to me like this could be advantageous for someone with limited garage space and the cost of bringing your project here could be offset against the investment in equipment to work on your car. Tuition element could also be offered `after work` if others would like to attend. Anyone interested? Also posted this in the Tribute forum too. PM me if you guys think this would be handy.

Sounds like an excellent idea for anyone waivering because of limited space

Pictures or workshop, got a 9 metre trailer unit in at the minute, but good for an idea what the place is.
