What would you include in the perfect Austin Seven workshop?

[Tony Griffiths]

For me to allow a complete A7 restoration I would consider the following very desirable :-

Means of having the chassis at waist height
An engine stand with a ledge underneath for bits
A parts washer
Oxcy /Acetylene
A decent lathe
A decent Piller drill
A big compressor
Plenty of LED tube lighting
Heating
Good firm benches with at least one big vice
Power grinders/ polisher/ big wire brush

That's the best concise list so far - I'd add just one thing a 'Mill-Drill" that would replace the pillar drill and be a most useful piece of kit. Being able to position the vice directly under the drill bit or milling cutter makes life so much easier. On a budget? Get a cheap compound screw-feed vice to bolt to the table of the pillar drill - again, it transforms the machine and makes many jobs so very much easier.
