Is that connected by a second story to the rest of the house/mansion? Even so it looks a bit too well finished for me to be comfortable wrenching in it, pretty, but too much glass/rock flooring.
>>13818535
pretty much but add some living space so i dont need to have a house
>>13818535
The only correct answer.
>>13818535
not enough doors desu
>>13818563
Its fucking sheet metal, just add more.
>>13818543
Not my actual dream garage, just an OP image to get the ideas going.

>tfw you will never find a geographically well situated old brick warehouse for sale for cheap in a formerly industrial neighborhood reasonably urban area, restore it and move into it with a camper trailer
>>13818563
Just need one
>>13818605
but I want more
>>13818602
That's a very specific want, anon.
>>13818563
>>13818571
>>13818605
>>13818625
More doors, desu.
>>13818602
all that glass, shits gun get knicked tho
>>13818632
Well, I don't want to live in the middle of fucking nowhere, and from my limited knowledge it seems far easier to put a camper trailer into a warehouse than to build an an apartment into it, not to mention the increased ease of dodging zoning
>>13818592
>all dem Plymouth Prowlers
nngh
>>13818602
I know that feel. I used to see this place every day when I was a student, riding the bus to the south end of the city every day. I wanted to just have it so badly, with all its ancient plumbing and insane porcelain wiring. It would get covered in this creeping ivy in the summers, looked so awesome. Just add a bay door to the rear and restore shit in there all day.
>>13818504
I'm thinking about it, since I'm growing tired of not being able to do anything major or work on anything since I moved the US.
It's only $200 a month and covers electricity, is a few blocks from uni, and between work and apartment.
>>13818671
>tfw this building is owned by a fat greedy Jew who owns half the city
>tfw he wants to begin demolishing heritage properties like this to build highrises and parking garages
>tfw his gaudy fucking signs are plastered all over the city
>oi vey look at how successful I am mother
>>13818690
your shit will get stolen, no doubt
niggers watch constantly, they will notice when someone is using a place like this but isn't always present
they'll break in a few weeks after you start using it and take everything
mark my words.
>>13818704
Yes, I'm fully aware of the risk. Which is why I plan on asking the landlord if I can rebar the shit out the window, reinforce the door, and somehow work with the bay doors.
But at this point it's really grinding my balls not having a place to relax in, make stuff, and move some stuff out my tiny apartment.

Oh man, we found the coolest building like this when we were looking for a new shop, but it turned out to have a tenant with two more years on the contract, and we wanted to move in immediately.
Actually, found it on street view, pic related. It's right by the airport and was an old Lockheed subcontractor's shop.
>>13818754
Nah, lots of people think it looks ugly as fuck
plenty of space to park my Lada Nivas, Lada VFTS', Tatra 8x8s and MI-2s. I'm a simple man.
>>13818735
Holy fuck are you the Unabomber that place needs some serious A E S T H I C
>>13819217
Nah. The unabomber was too unrefined with his devices.
>>13818735
clean that shit up
Probably something like Jay Lenos got, but on my own land instead of a industrial estate, I'd like to be able to caress my cars within walking distance

2 car brick and mortar garage. One for my Fit and another for my wife's Smart. If possible, connected the house.
So far, I only have the wife.
A man can dream.
I'm a man of simple tastes.
>>13820072
and a death wish with that pre electronic nannies 911.
They'll just find you over the side of a steep drop off. ass end first into the ground, and burnt down to the ground.
>>13820088
I can think of worse ways to go.
>>13820183
I can't.
>>13820202
Rather that than cancer or Alzheimer's.
Back in topic. I'd be happy with a nice double garage. 1 lift, some cabinets and worktops.
>>13820251
>giant workshop garage
>drives brand new BMW and Porsche
>not a single spec of grime or dirt anywhere
>floor is pristine
Yeah, confirmed for faggot who doesn't even touch the hood-release button.
>>13820310
To be fair, >>13820072 is just as clean but he does use it for proper woodwork and work / maintenance on the 911.
I'd be the same, I hate working in mess or not keeping a work area clean and tidy, it helps me work better.
>>13820329
Those two aren't really comparable. One is an enthusiast, the other is just some cunt who works at an investment firm.
>>13820373
Probably true. I was just picking decent looking double garages.
They're increasingly difficult to find in the UK, all of the new build estates don't even have a single garage big enough for a car, as most people are leasing / financing and don't see a car as something to really look after.
My plan is to buy somewhere with spare land to build a garage on, as many enthusiasts are now doing - pic related, although certainly beyond my budget..
I modeled a dream garage in Solidworks a few years back. It was basically a very spacious six car garage with drive space down the center that was two stories high.
Then in the back about 1/3rd of the garage space was walled in for a downstairs lounge/gameroom/mancave with adjacent gym area and above that was a second story loft area open to and overlooking the garage with couches, TV, and a guest room/bathroom.
I priced it all out and it would have cost about $150,000 for the structure. More with the lifts, tools, and furnishings. Probably a $250,000 endeavor once you have the land.
I have all the files on my work computer still. It was partially a daydreaming exercise, partially a plan for when I'm making enough money to do it.
If this thread is still up when I get back to my work computer I'll post the floorplan and some renders.
>>13818504
That guy must really like Maserati.
>>13820477
MC12 a best.
>>13820251
>>13820072
Y'all will want a bigger space to work in. I have a two car garage right now that is divided in half to be a work shop as well. It gets pretty claustraphobic.
>>13820508
Bro, a single garage is a luxury nowadays - the government and developers are intent on packing us all into sardine cans..
Besides the usual multi-bay stuff with tools and lifts and shit, my dream garage would be integrated into my living room or bedroom which would allow easy viewing of a car. Kinda like making my car furniture inside my home instead of being cooped up in some isolated compartment where no one would see it.
I wish I could own a hanger where I could work on and store shitboxes. My friend's dad was selling his at an abandon airport near my house for $15k, but being a poorfag I couldn't afford it. Would have been sick though, pic related

>>13820711
here's a view of the site from the street. God damn, I'm getting feels just thinking about how awesome this would have been...Oh well, my uncle and dad are talking about converting my grandma's old barn into a shop soon. If my brother and I help with the project, we'll probably get spots for our shitboxes
>no one posted it yet
>>13821180
but a more realistic option would be a 40x60 steel building with a loft. if you pour the pad and built it yourself it can be done for around 25k

>tfw making your own attainable dream garage
Feels real good man
>>13821180
This is my goal, and what I intend to build when I'm financially able to buy my first house. I can't imagine it costing any more than buying a cookie-cutter house in the suburbs.
>dream garage
I'm just working with what I got. When done it will be fully insulated, concrete floor. 40X40 with two 16' overheads on front. All in metal.

That was in a large warehouse building segregated for individuals to build garages in an "autopark" type facility. The tenants then go in and build their little "garages" among a bunch of others on land they don't own. That picture is of the guys 'garage' before he even got done with it. When he did get done with it he only put three cars in it and just assembled a Cobra kit car there.

Some guy posted it as a build thread on some rich fuck automotive board.
>>13818602
my nigga
>>13824847
It's not so based right now, still has dirt floor and temp electric. It's a fifty year old barn that had stalls and feeders last year, I'll get there.
I love ferrari <3
I'd love to find an old warehouse that was double zoned, or recently re-zoned, so I could build a small apartment in it.
With a big ass compressor outside in a cage, air tool pluming hanging from the bays, a lift, and a small machine shop. Just enough to mill my own heads, turn my own valves and valve seats etc. a flow bench would be cool too.
>>13824953
Car is too heavy
Any covered space large enough to fit my car and space to work around it. Even just a shipping container dropped off in the ditch by a highway ramp out in the boonies.
>tfw live in a city
>>13827748
The Enzo looks much nicer in comparison.
>>13827668
A setup like that seems cool and hipster and everything until you realize you live pretty much outside.
Meaning when it's hot, it's fucking hot.
When it's cold, it's fucking cold.
You have no insulation, no soundproofing, it's drafty, your restricted to no kitchen and likely a small dirty shitter.
>>13827870
Huh, sounds like a point-perfect description of my aspiringly named "studio".
>>13820578
Nah I would still need it separate because I have normies over sometimes.
My dream garage would be a lift, a toolbox, compressor and then an SLS Laser sintering 3D printer plus the kiln for curing the parts. Maybe a scanner but those don't work too well still. Literally with just the printer I could make whatever I needed.
All Im missing in my garage is a hoist. This is the only photo I have on my computer right now and cant be bothered to take another. I evidently put in a big counter workbench with a sink alongside the back with cabinets on the wall, and beneath the work bench with my toolbox to the side. My ceiling is R50 closed cell spray foam and blown, my walls are R40 closed cell spray foam, 2 coats of epoxy on the floor and a hardened clear, 5000W fan forced heater, insulated garage door and 600W of lighting.
I also added a nismo banner for mad tyte jdm yo

>>13837824
It's not just some guys garage it's where Spoon works, but i'm guessing they posed them like that for the picture no other reason to leave them in middle of the shop floor like that.

>>13837824
Shit, I would. But no, that's the Spoon Sports garage.
>>13827870
You just have to layer badly insulated things inside of one another until the innermost area becomes well insulated. Also provides all basic amenities of housing in a space saving package if you hook up some wires and pipes. You just need good ventilation in the surrounding garage to keep the heat and fumes from building up.
>>13819565
Well, considering the guy who built them died about 20 years ago, I doubt it. Also, outside of a Broughs Superior or a Vincent Black Shadow, probably the most expensive bike you could possibly buy

I like this garage/living space. My only worries would be the carbon monoxide.
