LowCarbZ Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 So hopefully this is the last time i'll be able to take a pic like this (doin the rear brakes and wheel cylinders on the Datsun out at my parent's in the driveway today).... Because of this. (Yeah I know the shop needs organizing and cleaning up!) And just ignore that garage ornament collecting dust at the back (Fiberglass 95 YJ project). It was a bit of a bitch to install, took a lot of musclin' around and such but it's worth it in the end! 9,000lb capacity, ability to store on top and park underneath. Center jack, hydraulic, etc. etc. Much nicer to work in the shop now. Post up your shop/garage/driveway shots, I wanna see where you guys work on your Z cars!

JSM Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 pictures are a couple years old, taken the first day we had electric power while we were just stuffing things into the new shop That's not a shop, that is a palace! I'd have a small section in the corner or in the air for a bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 That's nice! As for the link, I searched and came up empty. So if a mod wants to merge this thread with the other that might not be a bad idea... Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedRacer Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 When we built our retirement home I wanted to make sure I had a shop to build cars in. So yeah, this is my new garage. It's 40 feet deep by 25 feet wide and has a 14 foot vaulted ceiling in the back. All I have to do now is install the lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 How about the street to change your engine?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X64v Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 This is where I've been getting to play for a few months, since I work there: There's two more lifts out of the picture, totaling six. When school starts, I get to go back to a carport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 BTW when you go to get a compressor I found one 7hp/60 gallon home depot compressor would barely keep up with a sand blaster I had, I priced a 10hp/120 gallon to replace it, and decided on just adding a second commpressor IT works very effectively and the cost was about $870 for the PAIR, MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN A SINGLE LARGER COMPRESSOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 When we built our retirement home I wanted to make sure I had a shop to build cars in. So yeah, this is my new garage. It's 40 feet deep by 25 feet wide and has a 14 foot vaulted ceiling in the back. All I have to do now is install the lift. Speed, that's one very large garage! What I find even more impressive though, is how nicely finished it is. It probably matches the rest of the house: clean and sweet. I don't have a dream home, but when I'm finally finished with cleaning up my garage (nearly there!) and then painting the floor, I'll be in a good spot. I LOVE my garage and spend hours in there on weekends 'cleaning' up. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 SpeedRacer, I am jealous of your garage. Such a clean and spacious work space. Something I wish I had. Here's mine, or more accurately, my dads. I have access to a barn, capable of fitting about 4 S30's, to get an idea of size. However, hundreds of spiders inhabit it, along with old car parts from my dads projects taking up 1/4 of the building, dirt, mice, the occasional bird, so on and so forth. But it's better than nothing, thats for sure. No pics of that one, can't find any at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyvette Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 RESULTS of hurricane FAY, 48 hours of HARD ALMOST CONSTANT RAIN Ive got 6"-10" of water standing in some areas of my yard that are normally dry, and the pond in the back yard now looks like it covers about a full acre vs its normal 3/4 acre but in a couple days things will be back to normal......we needed the rain, so no big deal heres the normal level the water is currently about 6" deep at the base of that small tree in front of the shop doors, but would need to get about 2.5 feet higher to reach the shop floor and that would flood many of the houses before my shop.........thats after almost two solid days of almost constant hard rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
