That is my "garage"... its really a Gi-normous barn. The house and barn were built in 1581. It looks cool, but a cobbled stone garage floor is the absolute worst thing to have. You drop a screw, nut, bolt... whatever and it takes days to find! House and barn and with my baby inside...

There were six of them... full of "stuff". Everything from auto body tools to 3/4 inch drive stuff. I could only get 1 of the MBCs in the van as I wanted that red snapper and the hazet boxes too. And you are right, the stuff I couldn't get will probably end up being sold for scrap. I have...

It was a government property sale... they are closing down the bases at Schweinfurt and Bamberg. The stuff left were things that weren't taken by other Army Units/installations. I also bought a Honda Van (the silver one in the pic) for $500 (it has 60K miles on it!)...

I hit the mother load last weekend. Will take several days to even figure out what I bought. Basically, as many tools as I could fit into a mini-van (no seats) for $200 Here is a SMALL sample (every drawer and space of these cabs were STUFFED full of tools... I have since pulled em out)...

Hey! Westfalia is the maker of this one, but you can find similar things by Hazet, Stahlwhile, Gedore, etc. Werkstattwagen or Werkzeugwagen is what they are called here in Germany.

Hey Guys! First Post in this section. Just got back from a flea market near Rothenberg Germany (I am stationed nearby) I've always wanted one of these cool tool trolleys, and can't believe my luck in finding one at a bargain price! Also picked up a Hazet 3/8 8816G Ratchet, and some FACOM...

iloveocs I hear you... and I have done what I could. I rent a house... and the "garage" is a 481 year old barn with waddle and dab walls, cobble stone floor, and a ceiling roof that is probably 30' high. I am kind of limited to the changes I can make because of historic reasons AND the...

Hey Guys I turned 46... and my eyes have quickly gone down hill. I got Progressive lenses last time I was at the Optical Shop (Progressive is a fancy new way to say bi-focals) but they help more for book reading/TV than seeing faintly stamped ghost numbers on chromed tools. Anyway. I am...

Ok... here is one My dad is 86.... and worked as a bank loan officer in the 60s. He made a lot of loans for folks to buy vettes back in the day. Always wanted one for himself... but with a young family and all, never got one. So I bought the car, and had it shipped to my folks house so that...

Stork Barracks... its near Ansbach. Small Heli base (I am not a soldier though... School teacher (wife) for the department of defense. aka DODDS)

Thanks guys! I have a basic home use set of Craftsmen sockets and ratchets... and an unknonw 3/8 ratchet that I have been using. 100% Correct. The Base has a Auto Hobby shop with lifts and tools for us to rent. I have already done this when I needed to replace the parking brake and some...

I am NOT in... as this is my 3rd post... But I gotta say, this is impressive. I have run SS's on a pirate forum for 5 years, a guitar forum for 4 years, a Cigar Forum for two years, and am now trying to get one going on the Corvette Forum.... I usually have 10-20 participants... and that can...

Hey Guys! Thanks for the great info... definitely a lot to think about... and very helpful. Since I already go to local flea markets, I'll just start scouring for cool tools while I am there. I just need to familiarize myself with some of the quality German brands. I do have the Assembly and...

Delete the link? HA! doesn't work that way... you just need to keep your blood pressure up for a few hours to stress test it. If its meant to be, its meant to be.... Best of luck though!

Hey Guys I recently fufilled a dream and bought a vintage car... 1967 Corvette Convertible. I work for the military overseas, so I had it shipped over and here it is in my barn. I am a neophyte mechanic... never really done much... until this car. It got here in September and I have...
