i do not have the luxury with this house. ive been working outside right on the street for the past 8 months. that's in the northwest as well. rain rain some more rain and then some. luckily im moving next week and have a full garage to myself. i think?..

anddd edit- is it just me? i am rarely motivated to work on my car anymore now that i have been doing it outside. it's all a big hassle, as I have to carry all the tools and the stupid floor jack to the street, all while the neighbor across the street complains im being too loud when it's 2 pm on a saturday... all in all while it's raining. lovelyy

perhaps im just whiny.

killer240 · 10-11-2010, 11:19 PM

Are u referring to me? If so, just 4 months ago I did not have a garage and all my work was done outside... Not hating, I just wanted to see people's actual garages... U can always get an idea or two.

jays_240 · 10-12-2010, 01:26 AM

Im not hating on anybody.....if ur asking....im simply saying that u can still build a badass car even without a garage..its the passion that drive the build not the garage....and yes i wish i had a garage were mother nature can't fade me

pewpew · 10-12-2010, 01:38 AM

Not my car, but my garage. Needs a clean up.
This pic was last year and it's still the same.

I need some Garage renovation to go on before this winter, sigh.

Persona · 10-12-2010, 08:21 AM

Ahhh, I know where that is (cue creepy voice) LOL everytime I drive by your out there working on it.

CamryOnBronze · 10-12-2010, 09:03 AM

Just got my first garage (that actually belongs to me) earlier this year- slightly larger than standard two car. Pretty nice to have a space all to myself! (And the wife, of course.)

At Broadfield's shop- way bigger than my garage, lol.

bllabong89 · 10-12-2010, 09:13 AM

Nothing crazy but I will be building a 4 car garage with a lift at my pops place pretty soon here.

I have (16) 8ft. T8 fixtures... which use (4) 4ft. bulbs per fixture. So (64) 4ft. bulbs in a 50x60 garage.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 10-12-2010, 09:49 AM

I love these kinds of threads. They have one over on my350z that really inspired me to remodel my garage.

No pics yet, but I'll be sure to post them up once we finish up.

Going to be putting up drywall on the entire thing and building new cabinets similar to these:

After that, painting everything and putting a nice new coat of epoxy on the floor (gray with flake).

When I buy my own house, I would absolutely love to have something similar to this:
