Don't laugh. I once did a top end overhaul on an Aston Martin DB2.4 Mk III
in the "garage" which was just a space under the house (house on stilts). No
walls at all, "floor" was gravel. And UK winters? No thanks. Stinking hot in
Australia right now.

And humid too - here in Brisbane it's like a sauna.

My first vehicle overhaul (a mere Series 1 LandRover) was done partly in the
back garden while the shed was constructed - all the dismantling & welding was
done outside, but the shed was up by the time assembly commenced.

These days the shed's looking pretty well equipped, but unlike the one we're
really discussing, it has a well used look about it.

Possibly faster if that's all you want to do. Expensive though.

He does have a scruffy Colchester Bantam and a Bridgeport in one
photo. (cue Mark McG to point out that neither of those is a real
machine either...)
