So my Dad and I just signed a 3 year lease on a commercial garage. He actually used to run a garage back in the 70's that specialized in British sports cars. I think he was always a little disappointed that I never caught the automotive bug, but then a few years ago it caught up to me with a vengeance haha. I think he felt bad for me doing all this work lying in the street in south philly, plus he's getting ready to retire and needed a space of his own. I've got two project Jeeps at the moment, and he will be bringing his 1953 MGTD up from storage in Florida soon. I'm planning on adding another project truck soon and he wants to do an MGB or MGBGT project in the near future as well.







Garage is 2200 sq/ft and is about 20 mins from where we live. Right now we're still working on cleaning and prepping for a floor coating. The floor was loving NASTY. We power washed the whole thing twice, it pretty much went from black to a normal concrete color. Gnarly. We are using a product called U Coat It which is an industrial floor coating, hoping to get that down this weekend if the weather cooperates. Also replacing the lovely lighting with LED strips and putting up some fresh drywall. Then we're installing a MaxJax lift in the back corner. Should be pretty awesome when it's all done!

I just ordered a MaxJax lift for my new garage, don't have it yet so can't give you any firsthand info but one of the main selling points is that you can unbolt them fairly easily and roll the posts out of the way when not in use. They're also relatively cheap (got mine on special for $1699 delivered) and seem to get great reviews.
