I've just received confirmation from the Council, that my planning permission has been Granted !
So just got to tie up the Lease, and we're almost ready to rock and roll !
Massive Relief !

The main task is going to be to get that awful Dark Grey floor sanded back, and get a Light, Bright Epoxy Floor Coating laid down.
In the mean time I've been getting any Tools and Equipment cleaned up and color coded.
I'm aiming for a White and Pastel Blue theme.
I recently picked up a 1940/50's Norton No5 Fly Press, for a bargain price.
Decided to give it a mini Restoration.
How it started.
I decided to use 'Starchem Synstryp' to remove the old paint.
This stuff is Amazing !
I chose this Product as it contains Dichloromethane and Phenol.
As a bit of a rule, Any Paint Stripper in a Plastic Container, will always be much better than a Paint stripper in a Metal Container.
Plus it had a Skull & Crossbones on it.
This stuff is Very Aggressive, and should only be handled with Gloves and Eye Protection, personally I would also use some sort of Breathing Mask !
The Result.
Also stripped the Inertia Balls.
After also stripping the Stand, The whole lot got a wash with Hot Soapy Water.
Masked up the Important bits.
They then got a few coats of Zinc Primer.
Ready for Paint !
Nice mate! do you have to pay business rates on this? been thinking about getting the ball rolling on going into business myself and something this size would be perfect!
Thanks dude.
Yeah, On top of your Leasehold/Freehold, You have Business Rates, Service Charges and Insurance, as well as obviously your Electricity, Water and Gas.
I would have done it a lot sooner, I've just had the wrong people around me.
Give me a shout if you need any info !

I'll get a Used one for sure, Then most probably look to have it professionally installed, and Checked at the same time !
Wouldn't mind getting a Mezzanine Floor in there as well, Little chill out, Storage area upstairs.
out of curiosity is this just for playing with your own cars and mates etc or are you a business?
