Building the Dream Workshop - Part 3

In this episode, we continue with the new workshop build. I organise all of my tools and take delivery of a new lathe and a future project car. The walls and floor are painted to almost completion and the car lift is installed. Real work begins on the spray booth and the workshop really starts to take shape.

Oh yes, I forgot to add the video of the Colchester factory producing their lathes. Here it is:

"Getting possibly every tool that I can ever get but I think that it will never end" such truer words have never been spoken of!

[dillanmistry]

That's one of the best and rarest interior, pearl beige houndstooth,

It's been so long, almost forgot about the series, happy with your progress! I can feel the dust in my nose already

Lights that point up to illuminate the ceiling will help it feel brighter and more open, as well as slightly illuminating the areas the shop lights don't to cut down on dark areas and shadows (from reflection off the ceiling). you can probably just get some led shop lights, flip them over then attach them to the downward facing lights and wire them up together. Also those skylights will help a lot once you get them replaced.

It is coming along so well mate, that lathe was a great find.

[blinditw]

colchesters are wonderful machines, we also love it here in austria. very precise machines. and it looks like the owner takes good maintandance.... no chuck crushed. no rust. sure the paint is gone.... but that says nothing about condition. beautiful beautiful machine! congrats m8, i learned on one of these 20 yrs ago.

[wonderingmonitor]

Mate, Just wanted to say it's really awesome that you're doing this. Can't wait for the next episode.

[JustinPaulst]

Heavy traffic floor epoxy is my suggestion...strong water resistant easy to clean over...low maintenance and you wont be sorry 👍👍👍

[dangerousandy]

Exciting stuff! I really love your work, and I’m glad you’ve saved that C reg 325i.

[bobfrankish]

Yes indeed, shop is coming on great. I work in a home garage, 30 sq. m. so pretty good really, but I think you are making a lot of us jealous! I have an E46 325Ci M Sport as a daily drive, and am restoring an 840Ci at present. Also have an E34 535i that I have done lots of work on but still needs finishing. It's never ending!

[puntomkuk]

The extra lift in that corner would be a great addition, as you said yourself it's wasted space otherwise! It's great to see the workshop taking shape, I'd love a place like that myself some day. Looking forward to the next video, and seeing how these projects progress 😀

[wagn]

Having my own workshop is one of my dreams as well, just started building / restoring my E30 but I'm pretty sure I will get to this point one day! You are my huge inspiration. Really nice work!!

[mrpoki]

your effort really pays off, this workshop looks at least a hundred times better than before. Wonderfull work as always!

[AmnesisGamez]

realy awesome too see how far uve come the past few years! i can still remember the painting shack! cannot imagine how proud u must feel to have such a workplace for yourself! Goodluck mate! greetz from holland!

[FootToPedal]

Great work man, really enjoyed this series so far! You have a great setup, looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

[ScrewsAndTools]

I wish you good luck and success in your business! Keep up the good work.

[orlandobayley]

Awesome transformation, nothing better than having a comfortable work area, and you do great work, great going.

[dave]

Love to see workshop progress. It looks great.

The shop is looking great @Restore It . Keep up all the good work and giving new life to those beautiful E30's. 👍👏
