Everyone mods all the time, but I've never really seen anyone's lair where they make the magic happen. Where do you mod your car?

My driveway with open garage in the background

Image

The garage, a wreck as it is. Creativity comes in all places.

Image

My bench where I store all my OEM parts. My toolbox is trapped behind the sheet rock.

Image

The workbench currently holding my spray paint and ar tools. I am working on too many projects (as usual).

Whatcha got?

Constantly working on rearranging and organizing. Can hold 4 cars, but keep 2 parked on one side and the other holds 1 (the 'work' side) along with yard equipment (mower, etc).

When I bought the house a couple years ago and when I had the Versa.

More recently there's always a car on Jackstands...

Canaan, this is an awesome idea for a thread. Any chance we could move it to Gen Chat?

I'll shoot some pics of the NICO HQ garage this weekend for my contribution.

When I used to work at the shop...

:naughty: :naughty:

Old pic of my old cars in front of my parents house. I did 1 clutch job, 1 transmission (different occasions) changed an SR hg and turbo, radiator, starters, whatever with just jack stands I'm sure many can relate.

Image

I wish I would have seen this thread yesterday. I would have taken pics of my current workspace where I've just started building/rebuilding my Cobra motor. :naughty: Got the bottom end assembled today. Horay!

Old dirty garage
Image

It did its job for awhile but its just too small for all my projects and all the stuff that my wife starts and wants me to finish.

So we upgraded and bought this house like three doors down.
Image

3 car garage will be transformed into my dream garage. Started by laying some epoxy down on the floors before we moved in. Finished the shelving on the right side last week, now I just have to build my work area. Open to suggestions.

Image

Great thread idea OP

My Garage is trashed right now but I wanted an excuse to play with the new camera.

A view of the Garage from the front door of my house. I'll be painting it soon.

I live in a crappy rental place without a garage, so when I can't take up space at someone else's place and the weather cooperates, I make do with what I've got:

This was right when I cleaned it up. Now it's a pig-sty again until I finish the MX73.

Just bought a second rack and a bookshelf, and going to do enamel on the floor before Fall. These shots are old, Ruckus looks totally different now and I haven't owned those 002's in eons.

I need to un-ghetto-fy this:

I love the lift in Greg's garage. I'd have to switch from rollup to barn doors to fit it. hmmmmm.

Here's mine. It's a very old 2 car detached 2 story. full length storage room on second floor. It has a chimney because it was formerly a greenhouse.

Figured I'd bump this since I added some lighting to my 'work side' of the garage. Should help to not have to use flashlights, etc as much.



2 twin strips at the front, 48" T8 32W bulbs. Fixtures were $15 each at walmart. With pull chains.

A Black twin strip in the back of garage. $12 at Lowes, same 48" T8 32W bulbs. No pull chain on this one.
