I've been meaning to knock through the two single garages for a while now and finally got my backside into gear and got on with it. It's only a temporary solution, as i'm planning on knocking the whole lot down to start again in a year or two (once I've fully recovered from installing a new kitchen to maintain the man cave tokens). Anyway, below are the during and after pics.
Of Course, as soon as I'd done it the FIL says he thinks his clutch is slipping on the MG, so we've got it in there at the mo to sort that out. Not sure how long the clutch has been slipping for, but the flywheel is trash. I also discovered a core plug about to fail through corrosion and a few other issues that need sorting, so they'll all get done while the engine is out. Slightly odd design on the MG in that, to remove the flywheel, the sump has to come off as it forms part of the clutch housing which prevents the flywheel from being removed due to fouling the ring gear.
