View Full Version : The new Woodsport is born!

You lot may have been wondering why ive not been as active on the forum engine swap wise,no daily updates and no swap progress at all! Well reason being is Woodsport has finally taken the plunge and relocated to a fab new workshop about 5 miles away from the old place at haswell,which to be honest was a bit of a turdhole!
Anyway we have been very busy getting this place ready for the last 3 weeks so apologies must go out to everyone who has been either waiting for their cars to get finished or waiting for us to start on new builds,this is a once only move so im very sorry for the time delays.
To cut a long story short ive had to lay new concrete floors,build a spraybooth,paint the whole place out,install decent lighting and generally make the place mr2 friendly but i do believe we have the makings of one of the best mr2 garages in the country here.My lifelong friend Anth has taken the brave step of jacking his well paid job in to come work alongside me doing mr2 work everyday,we also have Dean onboard who is a 20 year time served spray painter and fabricator,although anth and i can both paint and weld,dean is taking the burden of this new work,bodykits and custom work are a specialty and his painting is second to mine,lol i mean none of course lol
So heres a quick guided tour of the new woodsport,its not quite finished yet so please bear with me,theres still a lot to do!
Starting from the outside we have a large carparking area,full 24hr security on site and twin full height electric roller shutter doors.These and the steel doors to the sides are the only point of entry and its all fully floodlit outside at night.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/1.jpg
Inside we have 1600sq/ft to play with,two Mr2 bays which will eventually have two post lifts installed.....
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/2.jpg
And a fully equipped spray booth... (still under construction)
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/3.jpg
Heres dean beavering away trying to get the booth ready...more lights to install and we have an industrial extractor unit that will suck a golf ball thru a garden hose! so no fumes in the garage....
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/4.jpg
Ive fitted mega sized stainless steel tool chests imported from china...(cheers limey!)
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/5.jpg
And we have built an engine rebuilding station (benches to you)....
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/6.jpg
The unit also has clean toilet facilities and an office.....heres anth going to said toilet for a shit.... lol
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/7.jpg
Purpose built for engine conversions with two work stations,heres two V6's being done at the same time....double the output! world domination isnt far away muhahahahahaaaaa!!!
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/8.jpg
At the moment we have to give the new concrete floor a few months to fully cure before the lifts can be bolted down,so for the meantime we are working off the floor still.....and i cant floorpaint for two months either!
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/05/9.jpg
So thats what we have been up to over the last 3 weeks,no more big time delays getting work done and a professional new image for woodsport.....
....shouldnt take long before i skank it up! :thumbsup:

i take it hydraulic ramps are not nessesary in your business?
will this yield more cars at a time?
or just a better workplace to be in?
that would be anth,my new slave,didnt you read the thread zip lol?
I kiinda did, But in the way you would read a porno:coffee:

Paul Woods
01-05-2007, 21:17
cheers shugs! your kitted up 1.5 will be painted in the new booth.

That looks fantastic mate, well done on getting the place sorted! and not a 4AGE in sight.
That looks like a cracking mk1 there too, fat rear wheels aswell, did you nick the front ones? I see you've managed to lower the driver seat too, sweet!
Great work on the unit mate.

....in sight? lol a bit premo there mate!
Deans frantically trying to get the booth finished so he can get through his painting backlog,then yours will have fresh arches and finished off,apologies for the delays bud.
Paul Woods
01-05-2007, 21:21

once the spray booth is up and running we have to come up with some sort of plan for modding my bodywork
good to see the company going well for you :jump:
Top news, looks perfect. :thumbsup:
So that's car conversions, bodywork and rebuilds from Woodsport. Anything you'll not do? lol

Amazing mate... amazing - In fact, I'll glady act as a "mystery shopper" for that new spray booth...
Yeah - it's a top idea... I'll pretend i'm a paying customer (I could make it convincing) and then give your new spray bod my car... If he does a good job - he gets to keep his ;)... If not... well - he'll do a good job!!
Anyway, joking apart, as I said before - all the best Paul :)
That place looks great - welcome to the 21st century.
Wish you all the sucess in your new premises
Ohh and slow down on the mk2v6's i want to be somewhere near the first ones on the country.
Cool , soon be franchising Woodsport around the globe :brill:
Fantastic, must be like working in a palace compared to the poky place you had before!
It looks like your pretty muchthere but do you need any electrical stuff? Ive got heaps of random stuff at work, just ask!

Cool place that Paul, that's a decent amount of space there. Nice touch javing the spray shop all integrated with the main workshop. Congrats!:thumbsup:
Looking forward to seeing my Mk3 in there!!
Congratulations To WoodSport. Looks like a very good place with lots of space and a spraybooth that almost looks as good as mine:mrgreen: Just look at my booth then try to reach for that kind of perfection:cool:
Will you keep updating with swaps, rebuilds etc?
congratulations mate :jump::beer: thats some more fine work constructing the new venue. real pleased thngs are moving on. im huntin a haswell plough for myself lol . the best of luck , i'll be up to visit in one month :) .
Great looking place Paul. And all the best with the expansion!!
Never saw your place before, but the introduction of hydraulic ramps will be a godsend, don't know how I'd cope without mine :)
Cannot wait to see my car in there early next year, now with a spray shop too it gives me ideas.................must resist lol
The new place looks great, Paul. Congratulations and Good Luck!!!
I'll have to pay you a visit if I'm ever on that side of the pond.

I nearly went all homo there! new address is below...
Woodsport

We are located 1 mile from junction 61 on the A1M so very easy to find.
Congrats mate - hope its a success for you:thumbsup:
Must remember to drop in next time I'm passing

02-05-2007, 09:16
Well done Paul :thumbsup:
I'm sure your financial sacrifice will reap rewards ----- for your kids when your dead from exhaustion :rofl:
ah good to see Lily was not used as a base for the concrete floor. :)
Now get back to work on Lily Fridays :)
No jokes about TurdSales now. lol
Jiff Lemon
02-05-2007, 10:09
On a semi serious note Paul, I'd consider welding some brackets to that shiney roll cab so that you can lock the thing to the wall/ground.
A good friend of mine was utter convinced that his was too large and heavy to ever be stolen. On the night in question, the thieves cut the phone lines, jacked the roller shutters and rolled his tool cab straight into a transit van.
Got DSL there yet? hopefully if you've got it by the time I'm visiting we can get the other bits sorted - Top of the office looks to have a nice view! :)
superb stuff woodsy .. .so I can bring the whipple over soon? :) :) :)

Oh and anyone else at TB think those walls look a little blank?
Nik, order up some extra large grind stuff and grind scene posters. Also get him a stack of Donor cards printed so he can hand them out with every turbo service.
:D

Don't you need a car first lol

Webcam ? ( like the one at Rouge ):thumbsup:
That'll just show the lazy ejit supping tea all day & scoffing hob nobs whilst he bosses his irks around from his ivory tower (top of office roof) lol
It does look good Paul :thumbsup:
Shame i wont ever get to send a car there though <:(
BTW whats that roof made out of? Not Asbestos is it?

Well done mate... much nicer place (just!!!)
I wondered what had happend when I popped in the Plough on monday night on my way home... not a MR2 in sight! :)
What time do you expect to be working to on most days? I'll have to pop over and check this 21st century workplace out! :D
Looking good mate.:thumbsup: Know it's something you've contemplated with some trepidation for a long time, am sure it will be a great success and Woodsport will go from strength to strength. All the best.

Still think it would have been better if you had relocated to South Wales though;)

Once you get those two posters in there you'll be trying to convert like a monk in a crowd of atheists..!! :freak3:
Good to see you doing well, all the best lol
Stephen & Cass
P.S. I'll send you up that pair of EGR plates I owe you as a moving in present (even though they're paid for) & I'll get some more sets made up to cope with your imminent demand..!!

lol mind reader jiff! im stencilling a big woodsport and logo onto the back wall,see nik i didnt read a thing,whatever it was you wrote....
Yeah jiff,top of office has a superb view of the whole thing,plus i can pick my nose and eat it just around the corner out of sight :) no dsl as yet though,working on it.
Whoever suggested a webcam in the bog has a disturbed mind! you need to pay a visit to www.ratemypoo.com (http://www.ratemypoo.com) ,legendary webshite! literally!
John the old man came over today for a nosey,we are there most days until around 6pm if you want to drop in....you got to say the magic word at the security gate or they wont let you in (woodsport).
Hearing you on the security issue jiff,i'll need to weld some brackets to that toolchest for sure.
No asbestos in the roof,just rockwool,orrible stuff!
ratemypoo, hehe. Iceberging, the artexer, and the ultra questionable "mark of poo" lol
Spent hours on that site.
Annnnnywho's, what's the roads/test track outside your new place like?
Paul Woods
02-05-2007, 21:40
the new test track is now known as the A1M between junction 61 and 62 lol,nice roads around the new place.... oh and becky beat you lot to it,shes been calling it turdsale from day 1 :)
And if I remember correctly, the services half a mile up the road do Costa Coffee:thumbsup:

anyone leaving car(s) with you from a good distance from there, how easy is it to get to a train station/airport?
knowing some industrial estates they are quite remote without transport.
or do you offer a free courtesy car? ;)

New digs look awesome there Paul! Here's wishing you and the Woodsport TEAM every success in the future!
No excuses not to have Lily at JAE now! :D
Looking good mate, you've put some graft in since I was last over. Where's the hob nob despenser at?
superb stuff woodsy .. .so I can bring the whipple over soon? :) :) :)
Just drop it off at my house mate, you won't be needing it for a while yet. I'll do you a big favour and test it out for you. Can't say fairer than that.

lol @ owen,nice try mate!
jim i already collect my long distance customers from the train station and drop them off again when delivering/collecting cars,all part of the service.
Hmm a woodsport courtesy car,that would have to be a quad turbo v8 mr2 then really!
yeah mart,the services are just up the road,bloody expensive though!
random im afraid being a married man restricts my calendar choice to snap on tool chests or spark plug pics. :)

lol now theres an idea........a crap one! but an idea all the same! :)
How about welding some legs onto some Camry seats for your customers to sit on?
Or just a rolling Camry chassis with the brakes welded - make it a living room :)
If you're at Woodsport as a customer it must be really difficult to sit down.

I've been saying to myself for a while "I wonder when Paul will move to a bigger premises"........and I've only just seen this thread! Congratulations on the new place it looks superb!
I was wondering how you were managing to do dual builds in the last place! :doh:
And at least now I guess you can keep your v8 somewhere that isn't impossible to get to!! I was completely at a loss at how you managed to get the v8 sideways into the end of your last workshop until you revealed your genious technique (austin powers style reverse then forward, reverse then forward, reverse then forward, reverse then forward). :thk: :jok:
Are the lifts in now? any more recent pics?
Looks great Paul :thumbsup:

Will you be generously awarding Woodsport stickers to those beast that have been tarted up in your establiment or are you going to reserve them just for th brutalised engine conversions?
By the way - whoever did whatever to let us see the "over 18" pictures on the other thread - could you do it again on this one please? I can't see the new banners - :cry:

10 years ago i was just learning how to work on my own little 4a-ge mk1.... damn that seems like yesterdecade :)
how long ago was it you put the turbo in the mk1 ala MK1.5 ?
Impressive! Simply impressive!!:eek2:
Paul Woods

hasad i think that was 2001/2 ,looking back its ridiculous that no one in the uk had done it sooner given the mk1 has been around since 85 and the mk2 turbo engine since 90...by 2000 there should have been one or two kicking about.

Obviously no-one was mad enough or they all listened to the voices of doom "it'll never work", "stupid idea" etc.

owen did you get that one inside a fortune cookie? :) funnily enough we went for a chinese on saturday night with my sister and her husband, and after the meal he ate the whole fortune cookie lol... he doesnt get out much :) he said this is a bit chewy,pulled a bit of pulp out of his mouth and the only legible word on it was "don't" ... we were pissing ourselves,i just bet the rest of it said "eat the whole fortune cookie"
sorry that was a bit random!

Digging up an old thread here but it seems we have gone all upmarket these days, no longer an Mr2 garage, Ferraris only !
The one on the left is in for an exhaust upgrade, it is 3vz-fe equipped, the one on the right has a 2gr-fe.
http://www.woodsport.org/forum/images/recovered/2010/04/282.jpg
So is Phils's and mine going to be the only road going 2GR's in the UK? Seeing as the others are in either Ferraris or rally cars? :)
I never thought about the replica scene when the V6 first became available all those years ago, pretty popular as I can see!
Paul Woods

Yeah we do loads of Ferrari rep V6's Lee, pretty much right up their street in terms of getting the replica to sound and go as it should.... i honestly think a 2gr Ferrari replica will hand the real thing its arse, or at least be on par with it.

Have to agree with Paul on that one, having driven a real one - my replica is pretty much on a par, acceleration wise anyway. The Rep' loses out on top speed, largely to do with gearing.
