Moving in...


Its been a month now since the official move and were still moving stuff in and setting our new workshop up.
Collected the 4 post ramp today ready for instalation nect week (no 3 phase yet)forgot how wide it was, towing it was fun as it overhung the pavement by a foot and over the middle of the road by another foot, only had to make a 6 mile journey though.
Its all starting to look a bit smarter now the builders have finished the office , toilets and kitchen... we even have hot running water too, woo hoo !
Still setting out benches and parts shelves but starting to get straight.
Its our busy period too now so customers cars are getting preferential treatment of course rather than sorting out the workshop , Not complaining though as we have a workshop full of very nice cars.
The first customers car to be worked on in our new place was a nice Pilgrim Hawthorn powered by an 1850 Dolomite engine.
Had 3 kit cars in 2 weeks..
