Man I forgot about this thread! I have a few garage-related updates...I'll start with my own in-the-city/ghetto garage mods update. After installing the heater I got to thinking, what if I could fit 3 cars in there? A few people said hell no, some said hell yes, I said game on.
Got a little crazy and started ripping out the epic 16x4' workbench that my dad and I built when I first moved in almost 10 years ago. This workbench is HUGE and it has been amazing as I have hosted newb mod days, done motor swaps, clutch jobs, countless short shifter and lowering-spring installs, brake jobs etc etc etc over the years. But these days, it turned into storage space. I opted instead to install a bunch of extra shelving all around the garage and give this thing the axe:
Turbo helped (as there was mice running around last fall):
Under the main bench base/riser, can you tell this is a dsm'ers garage?
Kablamo:
Ready to make new shelving now:
Spazzy looking on in disbelief. He's sure I've lost my mind.
Shelving up:
Now time to rip apart the rest of the workbench
I cut about 15" off the back the long way, little more mangeable size:
Starting to rearrange:
I made brackets for all kinds of stuff. I made brackets for brackets. Anything I could do to get stuff off of the ground: jackstands, engine hoist parts, engine stand, funnels, etc:
Installed S-AFC...you know for better AFRs....
And finally...SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES!!!
So, the X lived elsewhere for the winter, but I just got it back and finally with a little bit of touch-ups...not perfect yet but aww yea my dreams have come to fruition:
