    Budget Racing Shop

    For the shop we moved in 2 5 series BMWs. 1 is being chopped up for parts and the other may become a Lemons/Chump car... Still trying to decide if we want to race it. The potential race car is a 535i with a V8 swapped in (4.0L M60). Right now I am just processing the donor. Just need to pull...

    Budget Racing Shop

    Been a while since I have updated the thread. Pretty much as soon as I finished off the lights and got the lift in I started moving things in and working. That coupled with an amphibious race car helicopter for Lemons has sapped all of my time. Helicopter race car: Just google speedycop 24...

    Some clearance deals at O'Reilly auto stores

    Shipping was way more than I wanted to pay... Free shipping kills a lot of these deals for me as I feel the deal is lost :/ EDIT: Thanks for posting though!

    Armorpoxy Armorclad Floor

    My new Armorclad flooring is done! What a great feeling to finally be at this point in my garage build. I can now start using my garage for fun and not just sink time into the build, although that was fun at times as well. One of the last major things that I wanted to complete before I start...

    Trench is dug. Need help!

    When they do a trench inspection they probably just look to see how deep the trench is, correct? After that you can just put in whatever you want and cover it. I had to do a trench inspection (24") so they just verified that. I then put in the electrical, added some dirt back, put in my...

    Lift progress: Deposit has been put down on the lift and it should be ordered today! I was going to go with a Launch Tech 10K but even with the adjustment in the column it was still 2" too high. My 12" ceilings ended up at 11'8" after some extra leveling/base/cement inside. Oh well, such is...

    My budget Rustoleum Epoxy project/ story

    So I have a brand new garage floor (1.5 month curing since the pour). I have yet to put anything in there and the only traffic has been foot traffic from wiring. I still have so much left to do on this build and I want to try and save some money where I can. I was looking at the epoxy kit and...
