Default Windsor newest Garage... for the DIY'er May 28th
So Roman and I are starting a new business.

It is a "do it yourself garage" in Windsor

We will have :

few car hoists
engine hoist
transmission jacks
paint booth
sandblast room
strut compressor
brake lathe
torches
mig welders

...basically every tool you could need to work on your car, every specialty tool, etc....

What do you guys think? your opinions are greatly appreciated! spread the word!!!

i personally can't believe what shops charge per hour in labour!

You're almost right. The first 5 get to take Taner's car down the strip.

Thanks,

How many bays? More than 2, since you'll use the floor space for your own cars, no?

Ordered paint booth yesterday.

Next is a tig and a few hoists, hopefully tomorrow.

It's getting exciting, 10 more days and we get the building.

Thanks Tom. Nice to see you again.

Put up the 2nd hoist today. Still need to connect the power and throw in the hydraulic fluid.

Here are some pics of the shop.

Paint booth is up. We still need to add the air makeup unit and some duct work, but it's close.

Got some new pics.
