hiya i just used some zinc primer and then black hamerite on the turbo box, do you think it will be ok? I welded the inside aswell, and the corner piece under the engine mount i made is curved because i need more space for the silicone joint.

I love your garage. The garage was lovely before i started working in it! it was so clean! The heat from the house comes in and its lovely and warm, but the lighting isnt very good. I really want to paint it out inside, how much do you think it would cost and how many litres of paint, maybe just to do the floor?

hah yeah its thicker too. it doesnt look as good now though, i had to cut a bit out on the right hand side when i fitted the T2 turbo because of the actuator position. Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

I sold my house a few weeks back, No1 on the list for my new place is a big garage! (think the Mrs might have other priorities, like a kitchen etc)

If you paint the floor, use some PVA glue and water mix and paint that all over, it'll seal the floor in. Then get some garage floor paint and use that.

Good work dude and nice choice of engine crane :) I only just noticed your choice of crane, big respect for going for the old skool method, I tried it once, and then went straight to machine mart. PS. Good to see that your conversion is coming along. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:
