do you have some work benches in mind? in my experiance you should have at least one metal bench for engine work and the rest you can build from wood,and the rubber door mat's give excellent paint protection for painted part's you will be setting on them,and they don't cost much wich leaves more money for part's and tool's!:D a metal bench like this would do the job....

As you can see we now have a half finidhed front counter, and a half finished work station....

Alarm system is now installed, so...

Benches are going in this weekend, as is the Parts washer, Compressor, Tools, etc....

Plus we are cladding the other wall this weekend, and fixing up the kitchen, and bathroom, with a lick of paint, etc...thjis week...

then it will be a matter of getting the 2 bike lifts in, a a few more lights about the place, and we will almost be ready to go...

Signage is also in the process of being sorted....
