The Right Garage
Posted on: Tuesday December 29, 2020
Since my last post, we moved (twice), and have finally settled in to the house my wife and I expect to send the rest of our days. So after the house was settled, I needed to focus on the garage. It is 14 x 28, which gives me space for one car plus. I have the TR3B and a 1980 MGB, and want to keep both, so the solution: raise the garage roof and put in a lift. The photos are before and after.

Then I reinstalled the tunnel cover, welded angle iron across the door gaps, and lifted the body off using a chain hoist and two 2 x 6 bolted through the windshield wiper mounting holes in the front and...
