My wife and I moved this last year to a new and bigger home and I ended up with a nice 3 car garage which has an office built into the 3rd bay. I don't do quite as much restoration and car work as I used to, so as you will see, there is more emphasis on my office than on the workbench/garage. I still haven't finished cleaning up after our move in July 03, but it is certainly a lot nicer out here than in August (the garage/office was essentially a full storage unit after moving, with no space for cars or my computer stuff!). The last image was contributed by Bob. It is a classic drawing of a typical period MG enthusiast's lair created in the 1930s by MG's famous graphic chronicler, F. Gordon Crosby.

	Dennis employed two four-post lifts to fit his collection in the garage. I hope he has an oil pan between the cars!

This is the garage in my last house. There would normally be a '65 MGB on the right side.	This is how the garage looked a couple years after moving to our current house. For shame!	The previous garage was then torn to the ground and we built this instead. CLICK HERE for details!

Don't know if you want to call this a "garage" or not, but it's all I've got to shelter my '66B!

Someday, we'll build a real one, but in the meantime, this "portable garage," a.k.a. "the tent" is doing a good job of keeping my B out of the rain, snow and sun.

I bought it from Harbor Freight for about $200. (Some assembly required!) Dimensions are 16ft 9in long, 8ft. 10in wide, and 7ft high. Just the right size for an MGB, and still have room to walk around it you're careful. Lots of room front and aft, making it easy to work in the engine bay if you bring a work light in.

Before

After

Last summer it looked like an impossible task to get this garage ready for my MG, but it's finally more MG Home than Storage Locker. A friend of mine with lots of construction experience enclosed the end carport to make a storage area, and built carriage house style doors for both sides. (Pictures HERE)

The display of the car is augmented by some old track lights donated by another friend. The lights washing the body of the car are fitted with Lee Filters gel #131 to show off the Glacier Blue paint, with a Lee #015 amber filter to play off the gauges on the dash. A #019 red filter accents the grille and front bumper. There's still some stuff to clean out of there (anybody want a genuine late-70s Pennzoil oil can display rack?) but I'm glad the car has a decent place to stay.

Here's one "Before" of my old shop and some "afters" of the new one I've just built this year. In between these pix, the car has actually been assembled and on the road to proof the mechanicals. Coming back apart now for the new paint. There is usually an '80 LE in here as well, but it was out getting some fresh air. I built 3' deep shelves, floor to ceiling on two walls and made sliding doors to cover them. Left two spaces as closets for things such as floor jacks, blasting cabinet and the engine hoist. Tucked my air compressor in the corner, along with room for the welders and hose storage. I keep the A on a "Park Smart" matt to contain the escaping fluids and preserve the new concrete floor which will be painted this spring.

Here are some pics of my shop that I built for the MG and other projects (Volvo PV 544).
