I did the rotrex by myself over the last year, which included pulling the engine. Having the lift made it a cinch. I built an engine box that matches the way the engine sits in the car and just lowered it down and unbolted. No hoist needed. A friend of mine did the 2zz with me helping back...

BTW, I used lag screws on the wall and ceiling studs. Let me know if anyone thinks this structure may be too weak for about 150 lbs of storage. I also scored some solid door cores from Habitat for Humanity. $30 each. 84x34 for my workbenches. This one i did about 2 months ago. Used...

Started the soffit storage today. Hung an 8 foot section. The storage will extend to the middle window. The same storage will be placed on the other side of the garage too, above the workbench. I left a 4' section in the middle to hang some T5 strip lights. The stereo will go up in the...

In Madison. I think the key to the drywall is less mud is best. Sanding *****!

Almost done with painting. Need to put up two more sheets of drywall over the stair area and hang a door to make a closet. Here's the chalkboard in use and the paper towel dispenser hung:

$0.70 per sq ft OBO.OBO

Got this from Sam's Club. $10 for the holder, and $30 for six rolls. Paint is done, starting on the soffit storage....

The black one has a 2zz and a rotrex supercharger. Now I need an LSD...

Make me an offer!

I bought my tile four or so years ago. When I bought it, I was in a smaller garage. Now I don't have enough to completely tile my garage. I am probably going to use epoxy now. So, if anyone's interested, I'm selling it for $1.00 per tile/obo. This tile retailed for $4+ per sq ft when new. I...

It was already here when I bought the house, so I'm not sure which plan it is. I would say that if I were to build one from scratch, I would make sure to put in 11+ foot ceilings. Right now, it's kind of a pain using the lift because the ceilings are so low.

BTW, did I say how much a pain in the **** sanding mud is?? On another note, trying to figure out where to put the soffit storage. I was initially going to put it on the side where the lift is going, but now I'm thinking about just putting it over the w/b side. Trying to maximize the space...

As I previously mentioned, I bought my tile four or so years ago. When I bought it, I was in a smaller garage. Now I don't have enough... So, if anyone's interested, I'm selling it for $1.00 per tile/obo. This tile retailed for $4+ per sq ft when new. I have around 630 sq ft of it based on...

This is how I'm heading for my storage, so using a soffit would be ideal. I like the plexiglass idea, since you can still see through a bit to get an idea of where things are. I have to make things easy to find for my gearhead neighbor for when I'm not home. We have open door policies... :)

Just found this. A bit pricey ($40 per 24"x48" sheet). Link: http://www.eplastics.com/Plastic/Colored_Plexiglass_Acrylic_Sheet_Transparent/ACRY20690-125CCM24X48 I think it would look kinda cool, kinda like there are skylights all along the top of the garage. Searched here and didn't find...

N/T, thanks for posting as well, and awesome garage. I'm definitely stealing some of your ideas too. I also liked your closed storage solutions. Also would like to use Jams4j's/XcYz's designs/features. So many great ideas out there. I'm actually thinking about a tinted plexiglass for...

Awesome garage! I've been surfing since I posted and that is definitely what I will do. Thanks for the post.

Very nice mk1.5! I'm leaning towards a 1mzfe v6 from a Camry. The 3sgte's are just to expensive for this project. I previously built an 86 with a late Japanese model GZE. Was a blast for autox. I bet your 1.5 is a perfect autox toy.

Here's the build thread for my '00 MR2, 2zzge with a rotrex. 2000 lbs with 284 hp. :) http://spyderchat.com/forums/showthread.php?44925-Another-Rotrex-thread&highlight= N/T, thanks for the response. I am definitely leaning towards closed storage now. Looked at your thread and would like to...

Here's the VCT I picked up 4 years ago, and plan to put in the garage. It's Tarkett/Nafco commercial grade tile. I used to be an engineer in the factory where it was produced, so I got it for real cheap.
