Elite Finish - New workshop

Postby hamish_023 » Sat Jan 05, 2013 9:42 pm

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few weeks. I have been in Hibernation working on cars and then renovating my workshop between them.

I moved into an old 120m2 (10x12) storage unit that was in a prime location (9 Oaklands Road, Somerton Park) but needed a big make over.

Heres the inside before (No water taps, horrible lighting and not much but awesome insulation, heaps of room and plenty of potential)

Got a tap installed for sexy washing

After acid washing and sugar washing the floors and walls

Never do I want to paint besa bricks again. after three coats and 70L later it looked good though
Image


Sealing the floors:

1st of 3 coats of floor paint
Image

Almost done
Image

Moving in
Image

First customer!

More pictures to come all fitted out.

I still need to install 3 LED flood lights and get the chill out area sorted as well as the kitchen. Then onto the outside!

So wanting to drive over now to get the special elite treatment, but knowing that the drive back will dirty the car even more :roll:

Job well done!
