Amazing!
I really enjoyed seeing/reading all that.

 

[GHOSTDANCER]

Really nice build.

 

[Red'n'WhiteRebel]

Nice job. Gotta hand it to ya for framing a shop in winter in the 'Peg. In floor heat is awesome. Lots of extra work but definitely worth it in the end.

Thanks guy, yeah i have not finished the in floor heat yet. Did not buy the boiler, still dreaming of geothermal.

 

[brad d]

lots of fun.. still need some cabinets

 

[dark_dementshun]

Wow, that looks very nice! Even with the heated floors i would have a hard time in the winter. haha

 

[Canadian Charlie]

Great garage build, looks like a great shop.


I miss that Canadian snow

Very sweet shop! As a fellow Canuckistani myself, I salute you sir, for building in the climate that we call home. I was thinking to myself: "That looks awful cold to be out sheathing the shop!"

Are you going to coat the floor with anything special or just leave it?

What spacing did you use for the lights (particularly distance from walls, distance between rows)?

 

[brad d]

I dont think im going to coat the floor.. I would hate to see 1200$ + not hold up to waht we do.. I know they have some good stuff out there but we have metal shavings on the floor all the time.. stuff draging around ect...

the lights are 4' from the back wall and about 4' apart I think.. its 35' wide and I have 4 4 lights going along that length.

One more action shot.. tacoma getting a 6" lift kit installed.

Nice looking place. I like all the projects you and your buddies have. Any more pics of your S14, and of that 350?

 

[gonzoengineer]

Very cool! I like the S14 too, anymore information on it? Looks like it has some drag wheels resting on the rear, so I'm betting it is a fair distance from stock.

I miss mine, they are wonderful cars.

 

[Curt_pnw]

I hope to own one someday. I drove one a long time ago, and loved it.

 

[brad d]

Not on here much but the S14 has just over 600whp and had a ford C4 auto. built motor with a GT35R, has run a best time of 10.54@135mph

The car is apart not because im going for 750whp and looking to pull some 9's with it.

more info here

the 350Z has a custom turbo kit with the turbo in the bumper, GT37R its making aroiund 400whp untill the motor is built... weak stock rods.

hers is a 400who S2000 we did

 

[Nostraquedeo]

Do you have any pics of the finished Toyota Tacoma?

 

[Winnipeg M5]

Thanks guy, yeah i have not finished the in floor heat yet. Did not buy the boiler, still dreaming of geothermal.

Brad, I'm just starting my own 32 x 28 attached project in south Winnipeg - am interested in your experience with in-floor heat, as I had had a friend of a friend warn me off it in our climate based on his experience with humidity (his dad's larger shop had cars/walls sweating all of the time, eventually had to hang a gas fired unit to use combustion to use up the vapour left from melting/washing etc.). Any insight you can offer would be helpful.

 

[twiztedstang]

i was curios what size doors your using im getting ready to do a 50 by 40 and 35 by 40 is gonna be my work space

 

[Drift_G35]

Do you have any more pictures of the 350z? I have G35 that i'm looking to turbo. Your garage is awesome. I'm thinking about popping the top off my garage so I can fit a lift in there. $$$$ tho...

 

[brad d]

sorry guys have not been here in some time, the shop is all done, just needs window trim and the finish coat of stucco. its just in scratch coat right now.

I dont have any other photos of that 350z but i might be able to dig up the build in some forum the owner posted.

no other photos of that tacoma, i think he is in a tundra now.

 

[2lows10]

nice to see another import builder on this site

 

[Flipr3mix]

Nice.. So how much does a garage like that costs without insulation and heated floor?
