Warm garage space South East?

[Mikev350z]

Good Evening All,

 

Wondered if anyone had any spare space in a workshop or garage somewhere in the South East? Have a bit of work to do on my 350Z but having a gravel driveway with a trolley jack and these cold temperatures making it a bit of a pain. Could man up and get on with it I guess. Just wondered if anyone had space in exchange for good coffee and biscuits or beer tokens?

There was a thread recently with DIY garages. Can't find it anywhere tho.

You turn up someone puts your car on a lift and you can use their tools and stuff too.

I would normally accommodate but all my garage space is taken up with my current project, I feel your pain as I spent all day saturday on the ground under cars in the rain & snow

[Mikev350z]

Thanks for the offer anyway Darren. Hope the project is coming along well.

Anyone have a space out of the rain and cold for me to change a fuel damper and alt/ ac belts? Anywhere in the South East? Pleeeaaaassse

Try gumtree, plenty of garages for rent. You may get lucky with a large one. Most are looking for monthly rents but I'm sure you can get a deal for a day or 2.

I was out all weekend last week (until late in the night ), ok not a gravel drive but the cold didn't matter with thermals (£10 amazon), decent work gloves and overtrousers etc

& I hate the cold !

 

See my thread:

Ok time to man up and get some thermals and gloves. Will check out gumtree too. Thanks for the advice guys.

Bit full up at the moment and probably to far to travel anyway - but if you fancy the drive we may be able to offer a bit of space for a day

I feel your pain, been rolling around on the floor in my drive for the last few weeks doing bits and bobs when I can. The weather is not exactly pleasing at the moment...

That is the most tactful reference to the current bleeding freezing god awful weather we are having

Ahhh Zed Shed to the rescue. I may take you up on the offer Keyser. Thank you very much. I can supply excellent coffee or beer tokens whichever you prefer. I need to fit a fuel damper, alt and and ac belts and front discs and pads too. A full day's work for me in the cold so keep putting it off. Anyone tried mtec brakes and pads? Looking at getting a set soon.

Depending on which day you require, I have room in my workshop.

I am based near Ely Cambridgeshire.

[Mikev350z]

Thank you very much. Hopefully get the new parts in a few days. Really appreciate it guys.

[Keyser]

As long as that reads Alt Belt and AC Belt not alternator and AC belt then you can do it in a day easy - done one alternator change on car - it's a real PITA can be done but not quickly

 

Not used Mtec myself but couple of people have - not heard anything bad - which is good

 

Drop me a PM if/when your thinking of dropping in we will see what's happening hopefully be able to accommodate

[Mikev350z]

Thank you Keyser. It's both belts so will be in touch soon. Believe you have a V8 conversion going on at the moment? Awesome.

[Keyser]

Yes, Helping Wasso out with one of his bright ideas

 

That's on pause at the moment while we wait for a slot in the garage where the new headers are to be made
