Nice to watch a realistic garage makeover! So many videos out there with huge spaces that us normal folk will never have. This is great inspiration for my next garage!
Wow, thank you! great feedback! To be honest i really struggled to buy most of the equipment, I used klarna and a credit card, it not Ideal but that's the only way I could even afford the setup! but I understand the unrealistic makeovers make you so sick! Not every one has that type of money to spend I no I don't lol
Nice work, the mobile scissor lift is an excellent addition and a great solution in any garages with height limitations, and will benefit you massively in every way. Well done fella.
The algorithm brought me here. . And I'm glad it did. Amazing to see how far you've come in 4 years such a genuine guy. Well done I look forward to seeing plenty more. Cheers Rob
wow great feedback thanks for sharing, the lift is a great addition to my garage and will help speed up the process I hope, plenty more coming, all the best!
Very nice, and great that you got it all working on solar. One tip for block walls: Give them a coat of cement wash before painting - it smooths them off and fills in some of the holes so that they're easier and quicker to paint, the paint goes much, much further and looks better in the end.
Hey, very nice work, it's so nice to see all the progress you've made in your garage, so exciting !! You deserved a nice and clean garage ! Nothing excessive like a lot of people would usually show on RUclips, it's inspiring (I'm jealous of it) 😄
So impressed Leon - I bet you were like a kid in a sweet shop opening up all that gear, all of which looks sooooo good ! Dead jealous ! Most important thing now is to get it all paying you back, which you fully deserve ! Best from HK and keep ‘em comin’! JCHK
I was extremely excited to say the least lol, Thank you for your continued support i'm extremely grateful you've been subbed for over 4 years! fantastic
Wow, what a transformation. And what a great channel. Down to earth, modest, honest and driven. Takes alot of determination to work on cars outside in the cold and wet. Best of luck for the future to you. However, please look into some kind of lone working alarm system. If your out there by yourself and something happens at least it could alert someone. Unforseen things can happen quickly. Stay safe! 👍
Just stumbled upon your channel. Love your new garage layout. Sorry to hear about your annoying neighbors forcing you to take down canopy, but getting the new work space quite the blessing. I cannot believe how long that wait was, though. Also, that's really neat that the storage unit allowed you to run power and solar panels in there. Getting the tool box as a gift from the wife and kids was heartwarming. All the best from SLC, USA. Dduw bendithia Gymru. Bendith Duw ddynion y gorllewin!
Thanks very much for the feedback, It was definitely a blessing, the owner of the storage unit is a subscriber lol and loves the channel, he asks me every week when the next videos are coming lol, I bet the weather's nice there, I bloody hate our winter months it's dark by 16:00 and can't do anything as its raining all the time, all the best from wet n cold Wales
Game changer Leon. This will be massive for the channel. Been subscribed for years and never miss a video and it’s great to see you come as far as you have and you’re going to from strength to strength mate. Keep it up. This channel will blow up soon 🚗
Legend! OG subscriber, my dream has always been to go full time. I’m one step closer, and with the support from subscribers like yourself then it’s definitely achievable
Wow mate, I’m blown away by the transformation!!! I’m soooooo happy for you mate, you totally deserve this for how bloody hard you’ve worked/work!! 🥳 Enjoy the fruits of your labour mate!! ☺️ Wishing you & all the family all the very best of health & happiness 🙏🤞 Take care Leon ☺️👍
@ Thank you mate. You’re very welcome, I mean every word! Nothing but the utmost of respect & admiration for you Leon 👌 Yes, it certainly will do mate. All the best ☺️👍
Inspiring story, came across your channel and watched where you started from and where you are now. Great job and wish you all the success in the future.
Nice one. I can relate to this. Ive had 3 crappy garages. 1st was behind some council houses, you had to drive between 2 houses and it barely fit my volvo. 2nd was a open air horse shed that me and some mates spent ages putting down osb floor and walls up and running electrics. Then I moved and had to keep my car in a garage smaller than yours. I did the same, but much cheaper I just used a 12v battery and some 12v lights. But had to be temp fixing it to the walls etc. I rented them all so I couldn't build apart from the horse shed which is still standing. It really makes you realise how much you take for granted having 230v when you've been in situations like that. But Now I've got my own double garage I own I can do what I like to it. Diesel heater, no problem. Drill holes for ventilation, Whatever I want. Although my double is not basically a single now it's full of so much junk.😂 My next idea is making swing down storage bins that fit between the rafters. You could do the same. Do you own this garage or just have permission to drill into it etc? Also get your security up to scratch. Cameras: Reolink are OK. Tapo are OK too but need Internet connection (4g router / even an old smartphone acting as a hot-spot would work). Make your security stealthy to avoid attracting thieves. And install things that make it pain to break in. And don't post any clips that could locate your garage, you never know who's watching. Congrats
Top advice, thanks for taking the time to comment, Yeah I totally agree, You don't release how much you need electric and water. I definitely feel your pain, The owner is a subscriber and loves the channel and I asked first before I completed any work, It's a rented garage, any holes would be filled in if I left. I would love a bigger garage but who knows what the future holds, thanks for watching
Massive transformation 👍that’s a really smart functional garage and that lift will be a massive benefit too,great job with the flooring too that is much better than the concrete that’ll be a lot better for you now 👌
Living the dream pal! Just need to start making some money from them now! Honest bloke who shows reality of rusty bolts and not always knowing the best way to do the job but getting it done!
I never seem to have enough time, hopefully have this ramp is going to speed things up and also give me the confidence to fix other peoples cars, thank for watching 👀
Yes mate! Love to see it! Things are coming together slowly and surely. Ramp will make a lot of difference for you! Can't wait to see what car you tackle next! Keep up the amazing work!
Awesome work mate keep up the good work :) Somthing I'd recommend but not essential is to get a dehumidifier and place it in the garage takes all if any of the moisture out the air and keeps everything in good nick avoiding rust in the long life of it all :) Keep up the good work
Hey, just found your channel and subscribed! Awesome set up and great kit! I wish I could set my garages up the same. You started on a driveway cold and wet and now pretty much a professional set up! After 20 years working on cars like you, I might get there eventually! Well done sir 🤘👍
What a transformation fella. Giving me some ideas for my new garage. The floor and walls first and go from there. Good on you. You've come so far and look at the knowledge and experienced you have gained. Be safe and I look forward to the next video.
Bro that's amazing. I am definitely taking a lot into my garage from you. Thank you so much. I come across your channel back you were working on the A1 on your drive and since then I didn't stop watching your videos and all the Ups and downs that the channel took since then, but I am so glad you kept going forward and to see all this is amazing.
The Audi A1 was the bain of my life, I wish I had the confidence to fix it, I reckon I would sort it now. Awesome, thank you! There's plenty more coming and things can only get better,
Thanks very much, i'm very lucky and i've waited a long time to have a lift, sometimes you have to invest in yourself if you want to move forward, life's too short, if you have an opportunity then grab it with both hands, good luck
Thanks very much, here's mine if it helps you and good luck The size is 4mx6m at the front and 3mx6m at the rear its slightly wider at the front and the height is 240m in the middle but is higher at the front and lower at the back, I hope this helps
Fantastic transformation what a difference everything makes i love it that is a nice lift will be nice to see another project in there getting sorted keep it up my friend
The floor will be an insulator for you and the garage. You left the best for last. The ramp. Boy is that going to make you working time, so much easier. As usual looking forward to the next one. 👍👍 Cheers.
Can't wait to use it. It’s got to be easier than a trolley jack, I’ve always wanted one but I couldn’t justify it, but sometimes you have to take the risk thanks for watching 👀
You my friend one day will be a very successful man, keep up the amazing content and trading of cars. I do the same now with 70k worth of tools I started like you with very little.
Thanks very much, but don’t be jealous, be inspired I never thought I would ever have electric never mind a ramp. With the right approach and a positive attitude you can achieve anything. Loving the support
Well done you Sssirrrrrr🫡…… what a journey all the same …. Great to see the neighbours give great support to someone who they might need to depend on 🙄…. Anyways …… your grounded man no doubt …. And your family support you ….. nice tidy little hideaway garage that works from bit giving up 🫵👏👏👏👏👏
Hello from cold and wet Wales 🏴 thanks for watching 👀 I’m extremely grateful. The lift was a big risk but hopefully 🤞 it will pay off. All the best buddy
Absolutely brilliant this! Love what you've done with the space and how you overcome the electrics issue. Proper loving all that SGS storage, might have to purchase some myself 😂 & the lift will be a game changer for you! On a side note, I thought the video production on this was spot on 👌
Glad you enjoyed it, i appreciate the feedback it makes all the hard work, editing worth while, if you do buy a sgs unit then keep an eye out as they always have big discounts don't pay full price
I'm currently on with my garage build and it has no mains electricity. It's good to see that solar can power one of these mid rise lifts as that's the route I was thinking of going down. Great job by the way.
the electric is probably the hardest part to sort out, Its cost a lot but its definitely worth it, but make sure you invest in big amp batteries and over 4kw inverter, and even then you are still dependant on the weather, if you use it all the time then it wont last all day, good luck with your garage
thanks very much, oh are you well done, one bit of advice keep looking on their website as they are always having offers. If it isn't on offer then just wait, it will go down good luck
Very nice! I also have a small garage. You need to be so creative to get the maximum space for working and storage. But that is the fun part. Greetings from germany :)
Hello 👋 thanks for watching 👀 I’m extremely grateful, you really need to be clever with the lack of space there’s plenty out there you can buy to make life easier
What a great set up. Bit different from working on your drive in the rain now I bet! You have given me some good ideas and inspiration on what I can do with my garage that doesn't have mains power. I've just ordered some of those tiles for my gym area.
I honestly thought I’d never fit one in my small garage but you will be surprised 😳, don’t be jealous be inspired, I didn’t even have electricity ⚡️ but I found a way around it. You might be able to find a way, there’s smaller lifts out there, just do some research. Good luck 🤞 and thanks for the support
Looks great. I have one of those lifts too and the same interlocking flooring in my garage. I ended up getting a shallow pit dug and dropped the lift into it and a couple of 22mm ply boards over the top so I could park where I wanted to rather than being constrained by the position of the ramps.
Thanks very much, The size is 4mx6m at the front and 3mx6m at the rear its slightly wider at the front and the height is 240m in the middle but is higher at the front and lower at the back, I hope this helps
thanks very much, I need some super batteries big amps to run the lift successfully, I don't think leisure batteries are big enough, I probably invest in more than just 4, but it works for now lol
Cracking video buddy I used to work on the busses with you mad I Just came across your channel because I’m thinking of doing it myself l, I can remember you told me back in 2019 you bought an Audi tt from co part glad you followed your passion bud keep up the good work
You have done a great job of this garage. It is horrible working on cars outside in winter. I bet you would like the adjacent garage too to make a double!
Looks brilliant well done, yep those cables are not suitable for the peak amperage. There are tables online showing the mm² thickness of wire based on what you've got.
Just stumbled across your channel and this video. I also own a garage without any electricity and have been looking for a good way to add it! This setup seems perfect! Thanks mate, new subscriber here!
Glad I could help! Just make sure you invest in big amp batteries they will last longer when running lights etc good luck and thanks for the sub I'm extremely grateful
Fair play mate, looks decent! I think i'd be worried about it getting into though. I'm actually building my garage / workshop at the bottom of my garden because its adding value to my property but it also means I haven't got to travel and worry about security.
cheers buddy, Yeah security is an issue but if someone wanted it, they would break in regardless where it is, you often hear of people breaking into homes in broad daylight even when the owners home! To be honest it's pretty secure and there always someone there, and the lift is over 500kg so there's no way they be able to lift it on their own lol, all the best with your build I always wanted a garage by my house but unfortunately planning wouldn't allow
Thanks very much, The size is 4mx6m at the front and 3mx6m at the rear its slightly wider at the front and the height is 240m in the middle but is higher at the front and lower at the back, I hope this helps

@@RevivingSalvage tools are one of the best investments you can make so it should all pay for itself eventually
@SBBUK 🤞 hope so!
Sooo what more would a grown men want? Just some broken cars to get it fixed in this nice place!
Happy to see you happy and proud of Your work Sir!
Couldn't agree more Thanks very much!
Well done mate 🎉

Thank you kindly! Have a merry Christmas 🎄
Well done for what you have achieved ,Matt Armstrong started fixing cars on his drive ,inwards and upwards ,keep doing what your doing
One day I would love to be that big! I'm just following my dream of doing this fulltime I hate the 9 till 5 grind lol
Very nice, and great that you got it all working on solar. One tip for block walls: Give them a coat of cement wash before painting - it smooths them off and fills in some of the holes so that they're easier and quicker to paint, the paint goes much, much further and looks better in the end.
i'm never painting the walls again lol but a fantastic tip for the future thank you
Hey, very nice work, it's so nice to see all the progress you've made in your garage, so exciting !! You deserved a nice and clean garage !

Just a dude pimping his garage, love it. Greetings from Belgium!

Looks mega! I have similar flooring, and it really makes a difference. Love the lift - it looks like it goes a good way up too.
The flooring does makes a massive difference I'm so glad I took the time to fit it and the lift goes up to a meter high

You did not only upgrade the garage, but you also upgraded the editing. Good stuff
great feedback thanks very much I'm extremely grateful
Awesome work mate keep up the good work :)
Somthing I'd recommend but not essential is to get a dehumidifier and place it in the garage takes all if any of the moisture out the air and keeps everything in good nick avoiding rust in the long life of it all :)
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind
First time watching, great to see the transformation from starting on your drive to where you are now. Keep it up!

Looks absolutely superb, well done! Pleased to see the whiteboard up there too! Cabinets look ace, defo on a wish list for me. Keep it up matey! 👍👍

@@RevivingSalvage just takes time and maybe 5 to 10 years time from now everything will fall into place :)
Hopefully 🤞 thank you
All looks great! Glad you got the same lift as I suggested 😊
They are a cracking lift at a very reasonable price, just looking 👀 forward to using it
Great update mate, thought you were too quiet, knowing you busy behind the scenes 👍happy birthday to you 🎉🎂, still having toys just bigger 👌
Cheers Ian yeah 👍 got to love a toy for the garage lol 😂

Thanks very much for the sub Im extremely grateful, plenty more videos coming soon
Great addition to your garage! Wow!
Thanks very much I’ve wanted a lift for a long time but the power was a massive problem but hopefully 🤞 it will work out thanks for watching 👀
Very nice! I also have a small garage. You need to be so creative to get the maximum space for working and storage. But that is the fun part. Greetings from germany :)
Hello 👋 thanks for watching 👀 I’m extremely grateful, you really need to be clever with the lack of space there’s plenty out there you can buy to make life easier
Congrats!! I would kill for a place like that!! Great channel 😉
Thanks very much, I would kill for a place like this 2 years ago lol 😂
Well done mate on the garage , looking great , subscribed to see more 👍🏻
fantastic feedback, thanks for the sub!
Great job and video, you have done a great job utilising the space you have . Well done 👍
Thanks very much
Wow from working on the drive with a rickety car cover to this very cool well done 👏
I know I can’t believe it myself lol thanks very much
What a great set up. Bit different from working on your drive in the rain now I bet! You have given me some good ideas and inspiration on what I can do with my garage that doesn't have mains power.
I've just ordered some of those tiles for my gym area.
Them tiles don't half make a difference good luck fitting, they aint that bad lol
I'm jealous - I wish I had room for a lift. The only thing I hate about working on cars is jacking them up 👍
I honestly thought I’d never fit one in my small garage but you will be surprised 😳, don’t be jealous be inspired, I didn’t even have electricity ⚡️ but I found a way around it. You might be able to find a way, there’s smaller lifts out there, just do some research. Good luck 🤞 and thanks for the support
Fantastic man ...... looks mint ..... hard work paying off ..... this will make jobs way easier...... good Luck with it 👍🏿
thanks very much very kind
Looks great. I have one of those lifts too and the same interlocking flooring in my garage. I ended up getting a shallow pit dug and dropped the lift into it and a couple of 22mm ply boards over the top so I could park where I wanted to rather than being constrained by the position of the ramps.
Yeah that seems a good idea I think 🤔 I might trip over it at some point lol. But I think the owner wouldn’t approve of a big hole 🕳️ in mine lol.
Hi mate. Great setup. Would you mind sharing dims (in meters) of your garage? Trying to work out if I can squeeze a small lift into my place.
Thanks very much, The size is 4mx6m at the front and 3mx6m at the rear its slightly wider at the front and the height is 240m in the middle but is higher at the front and lower at the back, I hope this helps
Nice work that looks very tidy and professional, makes it much easier to work , I'd look into motorhome leisure batteries as a replacement
thanks very much, I need some super batteries big amps to run the lift successfully, I don't think leisure batteries are big enough, I probably invest in more than just 4, but it works for now lol
Great! I think that the lift will draw more current when it is loaded with the weight of a car though.
Great point! It probably will but if you watch my latest video you will actually see it working bud
@@RevivingSalvage Unfortunately I don't want to spend a massive amount of time watching videos.
Cracking video buddy I used to work on the busses with you mad I Just came across your channel because I’m thinking of doing it myself l, I can remember you told me back in 2019 you bought an Audi tt from co part glad you followed your passion bud keep up the good work
That's a blast from the past, Give it a go bud and don't forget to film lol, Once you start you get hooked all the best
@ thanks bud I’m subscribed now anyway so will be tuning in 😊
Great progress, keep going mate!
Thank you, will do!
New to your channel and loving the garage layout .👍🏻 Enjoying your content keep up the good work 😊
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback!
Well done mate. You should see if you can knock into the next garage would be perfect
I would love too but I think 🤔 my neighbour wouldn’t be happy 😃
Stunning workshop 👍
Thanks very much
Subscribed mate, it’s awesome what you have done with such a small garage 👍
Thanks very much for the sub I'm extremely grateful
You have done a great job of this garage. It is horrible working on cars outside in winter. I bet you would like the adjacent garage too to make a double!
thanks very much, It's not easy on the drive, i'm very lucky, i'm definitely holding out for a bigger one lol
Looks brilliant well done, yep those cables are not suitable for the peak amperage. There are tables online showing the mm² thickness of wire based on what you've got.
Thanks for the tip I’m definitely going to improve the cables thickness but it will do for now lol
@RevivingSalvage A basic check is to operate the lift and feel for any heat at the battery cables
Congrats mate, great work
thank you, very kind!
I’m right chuffed for ya, cheers
Thanks very much!
Just stumbled across your channel and this video. I also own a garage without any electricity and have been looking for a good way to add it! This setup seems perfect!
Thanks mate, new subscriber here!
Glad I could help! Just make sure you invest in big amp batteries they will last longer when running lights etc good luck and thanks for the sub I'm extremely grateful
@ thanks for replying mate! ❤️ Yeah, I’ve started planning and costing it up so hopefully I’ll get it all sorted in a next few weeks.
Fair play mate, looks decent! I think i'd be worried about it getting into though. I'm actually building my garage / workshop at the bottom of my garden because its adding value to my property but it also means I haven't got to travel and worry about security.
cheers buddy, Yeah security is an issue but if someone wanted it, they would break in regardless where it is, you often hear of people breaking into homes in broad daylight even when the owners home! To be honest it's pretty secure and there always someone there, and the lift is over 500kg so there's no way they be able to lift it on their own lol, all the best with your build I always wanted a garage by my house but unfortunately planning wouldn't allow
Very nice I bet you can’t wait to get your first car on the lift👍
I honestly can’t wait. It’s going to make those silly jobs a hell of a lot easier
Fantastic set up mate I'd love it
Thanks very much
What size is that garage??? It's amazing what you got in there. Looks uber professional
Thanks very much, The size is 4mx6m at the front and 3mx6m at the rear its slightly wider at the front and the height is 240m in the middle but is higher at the front and lower at the back, I hope this helps
Well done feller hope it all works out for you 👏🏻
thanks very much
Amazing use of space
thanks very much
