3xpendables Garage Project.

I don' have a classic car project at the moment but I've been busy with my garage project and I'm sure you'd all like to see. Last summer was crazy with me buying my first house and becoming a father but I've always dreamed of my own garage so spent the last 7 months on and off getting it finished. The house I bought (I live in the USA now don't forget) had an attached 2 car garage, 20 x 20. This is what I started with:
First job was to insulate the walls and add drywall:
Painting finished:
Note how poor the lighting is in there.
Here is the finished result! I added 4 strips of LED lights, giving a combined illumination of 28,400 lumens (71 lumens per sq ft) Have insulated the roof and added a heater. The left bay is primarily for my wifes car (she wasn't fussed about keeping it in there but I haven't finished paying for it yet so like to keep it inside, at least in the winter!), the right bay is my karting workshop.
Still some tidying to do but most of the way there. I also made my own Tag Heuer replica clock and saved $600
The first proper project in there will be restoration of my very first go kart. I did consider buying an MGB but they are silly money out here for the spec I want. So first priority is a Ford Mustang. Once that's bought and paid for I am strongly considering buying a MK3 Capri from Europe and building a LHD Brooklands Replica.
Hope you are all well!
