I didnt really have any problems with doing the build in a single garage (albeit a reasonably wide one – 2.6m wide, 2.1m at its narrowest). Having said that, I certainly would have struggled if I didnt have the wheeled axle stands.

I had a mains-powered inspection lamp which came in handy from time to time although I never found a good way to fix it to the car so there were times when it just ended up dazzling me rather than helping. I have a beanie hat that I spotted in Aldi with a rechargeable light in the front that was actually fine for seeing what I was doing.

Having the ability to roll the car outside on the wheeled axle stands helped with visibility too (on the rare occasions when the sun was shining). I had an up-and-over garage door which limited headroom and I needed to wheel the car out to get the engine in.

A bit of bench space was a godsend. It wasnt large, but enough to lay out the Assembly Guide and to sort through the various component packs.

I was also lucky to have a spare room where I could keep all the parts until I needed them.

I would also recommend having a magnetic parts tray. I tried to discipline myself to always put things down in this rather than put things on the floor or laid on the engine cover or bodywork.

Being a relatively tight space to work in, I was careful to try and protect the car as much as I could with temporary materials – mostly cut-up cardboard boxes.

The creeper was useful but not essential. My axle stands were 500mm tall and, whilst I am not particularly large, I only just fitted under the car when lying on the creeper. On many occasions, I just crawled on my back to where I needed to get to.
