I'm going to guess.....the arrival of a shiny coat of paint. 👍

More than one coat I’d say 😁

Sort of. It should be off to @Marto303 for some fine tuning of my prep work followed by a 2k primer coat. Then it will come back to me for flatting back

Well the car has made it to its new home for a while

So with the car out of the way it’s time to sort out the garage floor with some decent workshop rubber tiles

Which ones did you get? I've had some Duramat on backorder for a month so patiently waiting.

No idea what manufacturer they are from. I managed to get my hands on a load of second hand ones that came off a job we were doing.

 

They are very good though, will take a trolley jack no problem and lock together very well, its hard to see the join on them

That was lucky. Let me know if you have a spare 6mx4m 😂

"Where the £$%& do I start with this..." or "This is such good quality I just need to top coat it..."

 

Closer to 2nd than 1st I'd say!

It was a case of being in the right place at the right time. “Put them in the back of my Ranger instead of the skip lads, cheers”


I won’t have many spares. I will have managed to do both garages with them so a right result

Probably somewhere between the two would be my guess!

Flooring done and walls painted in the garage ready for the Cobra to come back.

I also bolted the lift down to avoid slippage when driving onto it. One M16 bolt in each corner
