Lol this was purely to store it in for many years whilst I did the work. The van now lives on my drive. There's an in joke with my mates. I spent enough time and money making that van shed!

Ah Fiesta reader and no doubt in with the tatton-sykes crew

This is ours:



Keeps the weather off but it high enough to get up on axle stands. Garage blocks prevailing westerly winds. Air able to circulate around. I can work on it in the dry!! Tools etc all readily accessible through garage side door. There is now gutter along the near edge and a down pipe to three 500 litre water butts.

Im actually finding this thread very interesting!

Do you think I Should get some help...or maybe a life?

Hang on YOU are not the right people to ask that question!

lol my wife said much the same when I brought up the idea of rebuilding the garage to house the syncro

but she wants an old TT .....and then said maybe it could also fit in the garage too

This thread is making me very jealous of those of you with the space to put up these brilliant shelters. Sadly a distant dream for those of us living in the Smoke and squeezing into tiny on-street parking spots!

My lean too which will eventually be blocked in at the side. Keeps most of the rain off

Unfortunately I dont have the space to build a full size garage for the van... but I did build this earlier in the year as I needed somewhere to build my engine ... I call it The Specialist Engine Construction Division..., The Mr's calls it her summer house.... well it will be once I have moved all my tools back out

I'm just in the process of buying a house. I turned up to the viewing to an electronically opened gate, large driveway and a double garage with an inspection pit. It also has another single garage on a second driveway. Can't remember a thing about inside the house, the wife knew it was game over when we turned up after viewing 8 nicely decorated houses in the same weekend. I'm really excited, I just need to lift the roof to let my Syncro westy in. It's bad when a van determines a 30year mortgage. I just need to convince her the 70's decor will do whilst I sort the garage roof out.

Lovation location location. Paint is easy...

hear hear good luck with the purchase

It's certainly not a grand place. I think my garage space is bigger and in better condition than the house. Ive literally bought a big garage with a house attached, the previous owner was a classic car enthusiast, which is why he probably replaced the garden with a massive garage. I'm actually going to be living in the van whilst we get the house water tight. I'm glad my wife doesn't read this forum..
