1973 Mustang Grande 351C 2V, built on the very last production day (July 6, 1973) for Grande's.
Today at last my wish for a garage workspace of my own has come true. No more renting. I bought a unit that is just over 3 meters wide (not that much but wait for it....), 10 meters deep and 8 meters tall (that's 3 floors).

I'm starting to move stuff in tomorrow. The place is brand new, I'm the first owner and the unit is mine to customize.

Here's a pic to get an idea:

I'm going to make the cupboard a bit thinner to make driving in and out easier. Lots to do... Eventually I also want to have 2 floors in it. Imagine the floor space! I know that in most other countries space is no issue but overhere space is rare and expensive.

I'm thrilled to have my own space now :)

 
First thing you should buy is a lift as you got enough height. Maybe only use half the length for a second floor. You can't imagine how much owning a lift will change it all.

 
Thanks everybody :)

That's the plan. I want the lift in the middle to make a workbench and keep room for a mill and lathe in the back.

Will e: That's what I was thinking as well: no more money thrown away by renting :)

 
"Eventually I also want to have 2 floors in it".

wait, wait...

are you saying specific 71, 72 and 73 floors? :)

Haha, I could store 3 big americans in there but one would be a 73 corvette and the other probably a Trans am :)

Ah dreams...

 
I might get very serious coz more and more often I find myself thinking about doing a concourse restoration. I know I won't be driving it for a long time then but if I don't take the car apart completely I'm always going to have the feeling I missed a spot somewhere and I might have to do it all again. I usually want to do everything right in one go...

Anyway, as of today I should also have electricity in the unit. What should I hook up first? Radio? Coffee maker or fridge? Choices! :)

 
Nice to know... where to go...  :whistling:
