Would seriously be awesome to find something like that, its bot like I have to do a full engine rebuild or drop the tranny, I just have small fixes like brake lines, clutch cables and other stuff that doesn't require a huge greasy mess. There is a building right down the street from my house that is for lease and no one uses it, I might just park behind it, its pretty secluded, and I don't think I'd have a problem there. Ill keep looking on Craigslist list though!

I found a guy with a shop who was willing to rent me out a corner of his space in return for me giving him the job to paint my bus. Worked well until he stopped paying his rent and the landlord came to chain the doors. I almost lost my bus!

Maybe you could find a guy just getting started and help him with the rent in exchange for a corner of his shop....just make sure he keeps up his rent payments. Cool

Best thing is, my wife has no idea where the garage is, so it's a great place to hide.


My wife is cool, I just work on the cars in our little garage.
