I would think that a doubling of the length and width is a minimum...
After all the parts are laid out it will take at least that much.

then you need to add the support equipment.

Welder, compressor, frig for the beer, War Wagon, a cot to sleep on when the
wife gets ticked over the time you spend on the car instead of her, a cat or
dog to clean floor, blast cabinet, Bench Grinder, an old oven to do powder
coating, old squirrel cage from a furnace to use as a fan,
shelvesshelvesshelvesshelves, old posters duck taped to the walls,
electrical outlets every foot along the wall.
So after all of that,, you might want to check with a local realtor on some
industrial sites.

Does it really matter?  Think of your Spitfire and associated items as if
they were a gas.  "A gas will expand so as to occupy the available volume".
