Old thread back from the dead!!!

But I spent a ton of time cleaning, fixing and rearranging things in the shop last night. I took some pictures but cant upload until later. I guess Im just commenting as a reminder for myself.

Also installed a Monitor that was sitting around for the surveillance system and bought $100 worth of foam mats from Harbor Freight. Something I would suggest everyone to do if you stand working on your car more than 20 mins.

Did all this cleaning and rearranging on Sunday. No euro in this garage, boo.

Also Jason I agree those mats are nice, just make sure they can’t slide on the concrete. I’ve done some splits before by accident lol.

Already did the splits a bunch. I need anti skid mats now.

My poor 135i just stays neglected in the corner (comfortably fits 3 cars).

When I first bought the house (could only fit 2 cars).

[Jdesign]

I like your wheel rack! I have yet to build mine

[m42b32]

Man you guys have some killer garages... maybe someday haha

[Jdesign]

Here are those mats installed and already dirty from doing the clutch on a TDI. Oddly satisfying to walk around on. Totally worth it. 

Having a monitor with all the cameras in view is awesome. I mentioned this in the other thread but meant to post here about the security cameras. $100 for 4 WiFi color night vision cameras is the best thing ever. Crime isn’t bad where I’m at, but just a piece of mind and being able to see the shop when I’m not there from just an app on my phone is awesome. 

I also picked up this vintage fridge from a buddy that does pinstripping. I plan on painting it, and using it to replace a fridge that just died last week.

I forgot how poorly the space was used in the garage before. 
It's amusing to think the only thing removed was that "shelving" thing in the back.

@Jdesign I want your shop. 
So glorious.

Yeah this is a pretty awesome set up, It just needs a lift now.

You are free to come hang out/ wrench on cars whenever you want! And thank you  Its crazy to think that the majority of all my stuff was collected from dumpster shopping.

I'll have to come up with an excuse to do so sometime.

Well, my home garage isnt really setup as my wrenching spot. It mostly consists of kids toys and strollers. Next house.....next house

But, here is my warehouse where I do most of my stuff anyways.

The lift, where my brothers POS audi has been sitting for months. Now that I think of it, I believe this lift has been occupied by and audi most of its useful life.

My e36 in pieces

More cars

There are some more hiding around the place as well. Mostly my dads that just sit a rot away. Its pretty sad really.

That '69 Camaro though

z28 302

So sad, the car just sits....and sits....and sits. I does only run on race gas, and with the price of that I can understand not daily driving it, but it is sad to just watch it sit and collect dust. She never gets to let the ponies run.

[Jdesign]

That is quiet sad. I dont think I could personally ever do that to a car that runs and drives. Im sure that not driving it helps it maintain is value though. But still.

[m42b32]

Real Z28? That 302 is a pretty impressive engine considering it came out in 1969. 1st gen Camaros are probably my favorite pony/muscle car from that era
