The Sparco? I took a few pieces of wood and made a mount for an office chair base. Didn't make a very comfortable office chair and now it sits on the floor. Someday I'll have something to put it in :)

It's been a little while since my last update. Got the vinyl wrap done and have been driving it all winter. On the garage side of things I welded up a tire rack that is currently being used for storage and acquired a bead blast cabinet. Quickly found out that my little compressor is nowhere...

Re: Audi Garage - Insulation Time Hoping to get some insulation done before winter really settles in. Last year it was brutal working out there in sub freezing weather. I got a quote from a local insulation company and it came out to ~500 for a 20x20 area with R38 blown and one wall, 20'x8'...

Made some updates lately including making a mount for my drip pan and bolting the bench to the wall(finally). The current project here is the 1991 Audi 90 Quattro 20valve. It is getting a matte black vinyl wrap service! This is my first round with vinyl wrap and after the initial learning...

Been grafting an ABS upper half of a burner to a fiberglass lower over the weekend. Used West System G-Flex epoxy and it is amazing. This was my first attempt at something like this ever and it went smoother than anticipated. The bumper is going on my 1991 Audi 90 Quattro.

Not much of an update as of late, just been helping friends with their cars and odd jobs. I can say though that all the time spend putting in the lights, making the shelves, stereo, computer has paid off! I have spent a lot of time doing curbside repairs in years past and truly appreciate having...

Great progress Greg! You can't beat the quality time with the kids. I don't have any yet, but still remember working with my dad out in the shop. They were some of the best and we still work together when the occasion allows. Seeing the progress is good motivation to finish up mine!

Haven't painted yet :( still need to take down the shelves, mud, then sand.

Very nice! Looks like a good size space there to wax the TT :)

Seems to be the consensus that I leave it as is. So as is it will stay. Hopefully the walls get mudded and painted soon. No plans with the floor at this point.

Picked up a steel barrel at the swap meet to use as the garbage. Been looking for one since the beginning of the year. We were about to give up and my wife pointed a few out. Not bad for $10.00. It will be getting fresh paint soon. Thought about keeping it as is but I'm not going for the rustic...

Looking great! Very nice work with the ceiling, it goes really well with everything. I'll have to tag along next time Brandon stops by and see check it out :)

Thanks for sharing the photos of those beautiful Audi's! I saw the video of the S8 (Brandon showed me) and wow what a sound! Have you seen the new S8? That R8 is something else, I'd love to sit shotgun in one of those :)

Finally got a working computer setup and found an older receiver at the in-laws to use for sounds. It's looking like the next part of this project will be missing and painting. It will not be very fun, but worth it. I was thing of using a Restoration Hardware color, Pumice/Subtle Velvet. What do...

Destroyed a piñata yesterday at my birthday party. There was a lot of candy.
