Just completed an engine swap for another fellow MR2 brother. He had a nice widebody kit on his MR-S:

Called her done and started working on the project car. Tearing her apart for parts for my rust-free 85. Finally got the engine on the stand today.

Here's a pic of the portable that stands 37" at the top. Just right for working under the car. Laying the light on the table is worth all the trouble to build it (not much).

I just didn't drywall the joists where the MR-S windscreen comes up. Gives me a couple of inches to play with, but I really don't need it just for working on the car. The lift is only useful for SUVs if I use a creeper, but that's still better than floor jacks.

Just got her done (minus flooring).

That would be great.

Minus the flooring, I think I'm ready to go back to wrenching! :beer: Tape measure is open to 63" which is just wider than my 85 MR2. So, I could easily fit two cars in the garage:

Cost would be an issue too. Those take a lot of electricity to run.

I found that I was using my sawhorses way too much and that I needed a mobile bench separate from my chop saw bench. Getting real close to cleaning and taking a beauty shot. Made this bench out of scrap and 4 harbor freight casters. She's stout and ready for a vice. Also added a drop light...

Here's a pic of my "accent" wall. MR-S and Formula 1 posters. You can also see my painted file cabinet which is now my paint can storage. Second shot is of my just turned 3 helper.

Nice! I like the hitch receiver mounted vise too. No one's mentioned that yet.

I posted this in my garage thread, but I figured I would share here too. I was going to buy one of the magnetic metal boxes to hold my latex gloves, but instead I did the following. Bought a 25 lb pull magnet from HF, inserted magnet at the bottom of a box of latex gloves, attached to...

Got this from Sam's Club. $10 for the holder, and $30 for six rolls. I hate the boxes of towels, because it takes two hands.... It's worked great for a couple months now and I still haven't had to replace the towels. They do have a little lint to them, but not too bad. In 90% of my use...

Cool door pulls. Did you make those?
