Kepes 231 Report post Posted August 30, 2016 Hey team, Getting pretty serious with my turbo E30 build, as in I've almost collected all the main parts I'll need. (project thread will begin once I have all the parts!) Trouble is I don't yet have a garage to do the work in. There's one in Levin I can use, but I'm looking for something closer to Wellington city. Even just a corner of a warehouse or something. Probably looking to begin work in about 1-2 months time. If anybody has or knows of something in Wellington please let me know Thanks, Toby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skidz 197 Report post Posted August 31, 2016 What period of time, Toby? Weeks/Months/Years? I have a double garage in Johnsonville tenant uses one half but we may be able to change that 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kepes 231 Report post Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Hey Stephen, I'm hoping it would be a maximum of ~3 months. Still not 100% sure but would like to have it all done for summer. That would be great, thank you! As far as I'm aware we're having a meet here in Wellington fairly soon (paint shop/demo meet?), it would be good to have a chat about it then Edited September 1, 2016 by Kepes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping to spend around 5k not including suspension or diff. Looks like i'll be right around there using quality parts Edit: How difficult is it, realistically, to erect a garage on your own/with a mate (DIY) ? I'm living at home and we've got the space but seeing as I'll probably leave within the next year, can't really justify paying a company to put together a kit. Just a thought Edited September 1, 2016 by Kepes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
