Help us out: How should the building interiors look?

I like the idea it shows us that is a small building but it also gives us the feeling that we can really make something special there.

I would add some tool trolleys and a welder machine and stuff like that.

Basically keeping it simple but with a work ready look.

Agree with previous posts. some industrial style tooling in the corners would be evocative of DIY engineering! Pillar drills, giant lathes, millers, english wheels, mig welder the list goes on!!

and then into the future these can be replaced with "5axis" waterjet, rapid prototyper, CAD workstation etc etc

Further to this, i've stumbled across a website selling second hand machinery. Some of the lathes and millers would add to that authentic handmade feel of a smalltime car builder.

Well... in an old style garage (even in modern ones), you cannot forget a pin-up calendar on the wall. Like Pirelli ones.

Lots of good ideas, keep em coming!

in the engine room designer i think an oil patch should be added under the engine test stand.
a shelf should be added with all different kinds of oils and different kind of fluids on view.
a warning square on the floor around the engine testing area with the words danger do not enter the warning box while engine is running etc etc...(a bit of health and safety)
eeerrrrr thats if for now. but i think they would had a bit more realism maybe.

This might be a bit too late, but here's a video from inside the TVR building, a fair amount of time ago.
