Been lurking...finally a post.

[ulev1st]

Well...I have been lurking for a week or so getting all sorts of ideas and motivation! Finally decide to take action. I have a 30 x 50 single story that is chocked full of junk and unorganized. I decided to take back my space! I am formulating a plan...I have a POD storage van coming soon and I have 2 weeks vacation to gut it out, clean organize, repaint, seal the floor and put all my junk back in. I will have to do it in stages as I have a four post lift that won't go out the big door. The plan is to move it to the back, do the front , then switch it out and do the back! I took some "BEFORE" pics today..as you can see it is quite messy. Getting rid of the old "filing cabinets" and replacing them with new Craftsman storage lockers, going to two tone the walls and add a stripe. Dark grey on the bottom, red stripe, white on the top. I am getting rid of the "yard sale lights" and replacing with new 4 bulb 48in flouresent units throughout. Here are some before shots...

AWESOME space man!! Love the toys and the tools! Are you a mechanic, or "just" a tool *****?? Did you do the 'Stang resto yourself?

Good luck on the redo - looks pretty good as is, but it'll look awesome all cleaned up.

I'm just a tool *****..my dad was a heavy equipment mech when I was little..he always said..if you need a tool..buy it yourself. "real mechanics" don't borrow or loan tools. So as I have needed stuff over the span of 45 years I just bought it if I could. I'm pretty much a shade tree mechanic and my passion is the Mustang. I prefer drag racing and Saturday night traffic light to traffic light dashes. I am restoring the 69 Mach 1..it is a true "R" code which is a good starting pont. I have an 06 76MM Turbo Roush Mustang, an 04 Cobra vert and a 65 Fastback that has already been restored..the 66 Fairlane(under cover) is just a nice driver quality weekend toy with a shot of N2O. I am excited about the redo....I can't wait...hope it turns out like I'm dreaming.

Nice space. Need to see more pics of the 'Stang though!!! Looking forward to the "after" shots. BTW..if you need to store the lift and Mustang somewhere, I'm more than willing to help you out.

Actually it is for sale on e bay. I inherited it AND a Gold Wing Trike and they take up a LOT of space!
