Unit Life of deanflowers

Engine bay on the e30 is almost ready for painting:














The W109 has been collected and washed so will get the basic mechanics sorted and the airlift fitted and rock it as it is for now i think.


























Also i took the E31 off sale back in January and decided to keep it but a friend of a friend asked to buy it for full asking price so thats going on Saturday. Kind of sad about it but i could use the cash on my house build and fixing some other projects up.











Ive started partitioning off some of the bays in the unit. The plan is to have two double bays and a single bay on the side of the unit. 1 of the double bays for a project and the other double and single as detailing bays. Also been looking at 2 car 4 post lifts and floors tiles.

First wall is up:

What a brilliant thread deanflowers. I enjoyed reading this. The unit looks amazing and I wish i could get something started like this locally to me.

Keep us updated, the cars are awesome....

The dark grey/black bay with all the lights, is there a scientific reason the walls are this colour, or do you just like it?

Other side of the bay is now boarded, painted and lights wired in. I need to get the first wooden vertical support removed between the black E30 (not mine) and my two tone W140 to make that a double bay, then i can carry on.














The front half of my e30 tourer is in primer and the floors have been stripped of wax oil, everything is now removed underside.















Also my mk1 golf clipper has been fully cleaned underneath ready to receive the same treatment when the e30 is finished. It is absolutely solid with no corrosion underneath at all which is amazing considering where it was parked for 7 years. More pics to follow but this is what its like under the arches:

My S320 Brabus rep W140 got featured in Mercedes Enthusiast Mag this month.

We took a trip to caffiene and machine (8 cars) on sunday. Hooned the quattroporte all the way there and back so that was fun. It needed a clean first and a £240 tyre due to a screw in the rear. Took the chance to get the one wheels refurbed that had a curb mark when i bought the car.







Also had a visit from a friend with this gem and sorted out his wonky looking headlight:




Also moved this here after doing some service bits:





The jag is in having its rebuilt diff fitted ready for next weekends fun activities at the RR weekender and the plusfourfour automotive show. And i bought a TeePee for this seasons camping as my bro sold his old beige 86 plate renault traffic camper

Took the jag to weekender.












Won a top ten award at the plusfourfour show

Also had a cleaning day, i store the E36 M3 for a friend but it was quite dusty and another friend is selling his caged impreza so that needed a freshen up in my bay.

I had my XJ40 paint corrected by a local guy just before players classic so that didn't take much work to clean back up.

Started cleaning the W109. It was pretty much matt before. Front end has now got some shine and all the brightwork is coming up good

Its a little early to tell really, i need to install some more above the car but also most the cars i have are a little large for the bay.
