Bradford!

[Audi80B2]

Hiya anyone in Bradford who want to share or rent out? Really looking for a space for Restoration of my Audi 80 b2. Any information would be very helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
I live in Shipley and I've got some storage in Ilkley. It's a double garage in size, power, water for £130/mth so no bad. But...
it's too far away tbh, 24 miles both ways and also roof started to leak. The owner is not interested in making it waterproof so I'm moving out.

Bradford could be much better for distance reasons.
I spent a lot of time searching for some sensible places 2 years ago but I couldn't find anything which would suit my needs.

Usually you can find a double garage with no power for £30-£40 a week, without a permission to do some grinding/welding so for storage purpose only.

I'm shocked how many post-industrial spaces are being wasted in Bradford. These permises are locked and left empty.
I found one interesting place, not that expensive at a first glance but later on I've been told I'll have to pay buissines rate (council tax) for it. This made all costs going too high and I have to leave it as I'm not running any company I'm just car enthusiast looking for a space.

I could share with someone's else for sure.

It is true that there are many places but most of them empty. if its a good size place than sharing is the best thing to do. I have looked around and there isnt any place that I could find and most of places being bigger than what I required was really expensive.
Let me know if there is any place and what are the cost and I think by sharing it will bring cost down which what we all need.
Thanks for taking interest.

I'm sure you only pay rates if you are running a business. Could be worth checking that with the council rather than the landlord.

I am just asuming that there is no one in bradford who has interest in old cars or to look after them.

[saabturbo]

Plenty in Leeds who do

[Audi80B2]

so do you know any place in leeds or around pudsey. Really looking for place at resonable price and don't mind sharing aswel with another car enthusiast

[saabturbo]

There is a leeds thread in the garage communities that will give you a few names of people looking!

[dawsondj01]

I'm based in eccleshill at bradford and ive been looking for some space myself to rent with someone. message me and i'll get in touch if i do find anywhere.

[Audi80B2]

Interesting workshop to rent located in Idle. £150 pw sounds too steep imo but if big enough to accomodate 6 cars,
I'd like to share with other 2 car ethusiasts/forum members.
I've got 2 vehicles stored in a double garage 12 miles away at the moment and really would like to move closer.

I'm in birkenshaw and after somewere to do work out of the rain and possibly store anouther motor,

I'm in the ******* area. Seems there are quite a few of us in the Bradford area afterall. I drive past many a wharehouse/storage facility that are just going to waste. Maybe if we all got together sometime and went to check out a few of these places we could find somewhere cheapish enough. Would be cool to have a central place in Bradford for like minded retro heads.

[chrispduck]

And I'm in WF16 postcode looking for space to work on two cars, so interest here too. I've been looking for a few weeks now, ideally looking for something nearby

[zackpl]

s122a you have got a pm.
