https://www.northerntool.com/images/downloads/manuals/700095.pdf The warnings are pretty vague. How do they figure? I got one of these lightly used for cheap, and would like to put it on an overhead shelf. Do you guys think that would be safe? I figured that if I spaced out the bottom of...

Cool little space! I look forward to seeing how well you utilize it.

I wish that I had been updating this as I went... Lots has happened over the past year and a half! I'll try to find some old pictures later.

Nice T-types! I've always wanted to do a more modern SII SC swap into one of those. I look forward to seeing updates.

Damn you! I tried so hard to buy that burgundy T! Sharp car. I ended up with a very low mile 86 GN instead. You bought yourself a very nice car.

Cool! I figured a little elbow grease was the main ingredient. Thanks

Hello everybody, I just got my first house over the summer and decided to epoxy the garage floor before I got settled. It's holding up really nicely to my abuse, but I do a lot of automotive work which involves a lot of grease and oil hitting the floor. It doesn't seem to be staining...

Well yeah that would be nice, but that's also a big project! Sadly, I don't have the expertise to do either one. :/

Thanks! I'll have a buddy from work come by this fall to upgrade my lighting and electrical. 15A isn't even enough to run my tiny compressor. That should make working with the door closed a lot easier.

I bought the rear end from another Volvo guy, so the work was already done for me. However there a is a lot of information on Turbobricks. To get the rear end in the car, you need to cut and weld the brackets from the old Dana to the 8.8 in their same positions. It's best to make a jig so...

I finally got the main frame of my bench completed! The top came from my great grandfather's workshop. He built it out of a lane from the bowling alley that closed Inear their house in the 50s. It feels awesome to have it in my own shop now. I will be putting wood paneling on the sides as...

Thanks! 240 is getting the 4.8/4L60e from the truck. I drove and tinkered with it for two years while I was in school and then it became a little too far beyond repair. Since I loved the car so much I figured I would rescue it and do what I wanted to it. There's an 8.8 LSD 3:73 rear end back...

There are many plans for the place, but I will have to take it one step at a time. I want to build a closet for the air handler and water heater. It bothers me that it was placed in the garage when the house has a full basement, but oh well. The dry wall will have to be removed, so that...

Hello everybody! I've been a lurker here for over a year, and it comes with great excitement to start my own garage thread. I found a great deal on my first house, and work began as soon as I moved in. The progress is slow, but I'll try to update every time I have something new for you guys...

WOW. So sorry to hear about your cars and garage. That is nightmare I could never wish upon anybody. I know what it's like to lose one car like that, and it really hit me hard. If you love the hobby enough you will rebuild in short time though! Good luck
