Shipping Container as a Workshop?

edessex · Jan 10, 2014

Will there be enough room in a standard 20ft shipping container to work on a 110?

I need to do a bulkhead replacement...

Might be a squeeze

If you've room to open both doors, I'd say yes

i don't think you can open both wing mirrors

Yeah the doors would have to come off before it went in...

AS long as you don't have to take the tyres off or walk down the sides. Being a skinny as a tooth pick will help

Inside width is about 96 inches. how wide is the body of a 110 outside of tyre to tyre

70ish iirc

can you imagine stripping a bulkhead off lol

Hmmm... about a foot a side, might work...

edessex · Jan 10, 2014

Do you guys think its doable?

The other option is to get a garage to do it...

I had a container as a motorbike workshop/garage, but I think its going to be very tight room wise for a landy!

Ive got a 20ft container with my vw beetle in and its tight working on it! i wouldnt want to work on a landy in one

We shipped a load of our porsche rally cars off in shipping containers, i wouldnt even consider doing any work on one of them in there, let alone on a landy, except maybe change a headlamp or 2!

bugmania · Jan 10, 2014

the passanger side is tight up against the side in this one \/\/\/

hope that helps

edessex · Jan 10, 2014

So, looks like its gonna have to go to a garage then... better mortgage my kneecaps!

bugmania · Jan 10, 2014

where abouts are you? im fairly local to the airport

I did mine outside under a gazebo!As in my picture.

I'm in the middle of Bishops Stortford, got no garden or driveway to do it on. I would do it on my yard/smallholding, but I had a landy parked up on that before and the council made me get shot of it. So can't do it there either...

I had to place a load of snatch landrover's into shipping containers to bring them back from Iraq,

Don't even try it no room for movement, for stowage yes but not for work!

easy solution, drive to smallholding, stick a poly tunnel over your landy
