ardandy 0 Posted July 31, 2006 The one thing that holds me back when doing my own work on a car is that I've nowhere to do it. So I've being thinking! (I know, I'm scared too! :idea: ) How much would a lock up/small unit/somewhere I could work on a car be a month roughly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickVR6 0 Posted July 31, 2006 £40-50 pm here mate. people tend to snapp them up from outa town as parking is £5+ a day for work. Which makes it seem like a bargain to some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s.g 0 Posted August 1, 2006 i also looked into this and all depends on what size you want. in and around bolton you can expect to pay any thing from £100 to £300 a month. and most places wont let you have them as its more money for them to let to small buisness's. also alot of people don't like cars in there lock ups due to insurance issue's/cost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted August 1, 2006 It's generally £40-£50 pm out of town, in a city as s.g. says it can skyrocket. However I have a lock-up where I keep my car and if I'm totally honest it is only that - a lock-up. Most garages are too small to work on the car in as well. A standard sized garage is just wide enough to get the car in, but due to the width of the car you have to push it in as you can't open the doors. When I got my lock-up I looked for a year for a double garage. There are only 3 in the outskirts of birmingham available for rent at a cost of £40 per month, however they all have about a 6 year waiting list!!!!

ardandy 0 Posted August 1, 2006 When I say work, I mean a proper project type car. Strip it, rebuild etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted August 3, 2006 I've got J-DUB in a 40' container in a storage yard... Currently, she's had the front suspension taken off, a new front wing fitted and will have new front suspension fitted all inside the container... about the only thing I don't think I could do in there is respray her 'cos it's just that little bit toooo narrow... I'm paying £125 a month for the lockup which is alarmed and has 24hour pre-arranged access... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
