The milky orange paint was pretty thin, too. Hopefully the silver will be a bit more durable. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

The press is a very handy tool. My buddy JB bought a HF press (I don't recall if it is the 20 ton) and it came in handy when pressing off and on the CV joints on the MINI whilst doing the CV joint boot replacement.

Yeah, guys, I get the "if you don't need it, get rid of it philosophy." For the VW stuff in particular, that makes sense. For the FIATS, I have a lot of them right now and keeping that stuff makes sense, even if I don't have an immediate use. Why? Because I guarantee the part I sell or...

The seats: Porsche 911 -- Original set to my car. Need recovering. I bought a set recovered in cloth for $100 and put them in for now. I can't decide if these are vinyl or leather. Recovering in leather is pricey. Eventually they'll be recovered and put back into the car, and the other set...

Matt: I *think* I get what you are saying...essentially hang the seats upside down from the bottom of the ceiling rack? I only have 8ft high ceilings. I suppose if the backs were along the wall that would help, though it might take away some of the usable wall space. I like your creative...

I've got a collection of seats from cars...about six sets. Right now they are kind of piled up between my tool box and one of the project cars. Not a very useful solution. I'm trying to think of a good solution, as floor space in my 20x20 garage is at a premium. I have a pull-down ladder to...

Great minds think alike...I just bought the same black box from HF for $120. It's not as well built as the $350 13-drawer 44" unit but it suits my particular needs as a back up box that I can easily roll out and have a top for working space next to a car. It does require assembly. Took...

Did you ever get these? I ask because when I click on the link the website doesn't come up. I wonder if they've gone under?

I agree about the light issue. You can never have enough light in a garage. At least not if you are trying to work in it. If it's just a nice place to show off your toys, then go ahead with a piano black epoxy floor. It will look stunning. But as a workspace, it wouldn't be so great. I...

Why the grey at the bottom? I mean, don't get me wrong, it looks nice. The white at the top is definitely an improvement, since it brightens up the garage quite a bit. While visually I like the idea of the grey as an accent, I'm leery of doing anything like that because it will make the...

Aside from the height of the boxes on the casters, it seems to me the simple solution would be to leave the casters on, lock them, then build up the counter to a height just slightly higher than the HF cabinets. Now, with that solution the drawers wouldn't be exactly parallel to the countertop...

It already looks a million percent better. I get what you're saying about being at home. But my garage is so small, and with JB and I doing projects together, my tools are spread out between two garages, as are his, and we've got cars in two locations, and neither of us has the height to...

When you get done, I have a garage that needs help. Actually, I still haven't decided what I want to do. Part of me wants to cut a man-door in the CMU to the side yard, then build a lean-to (?) out of pressure treated wood and corrugated metal roofing. Then I could store non-perishables like...

That's quite a view!

I've heard soda (coke) is good for this...might be a wive's tale.

No pics of the garage to post (at present), but I did put up a photo of my compressor set up. I also posted pics of my various rides. All are in my "albums" on the forum. Check 'em out. :-)

My buddy and I work on our cars. A lot. Our houses are about 2 mi apart and invariably the tool we want is at the wrong house. Both of our garages are filled with various other things (wives cars, business stuff, etc.). Plus, neither garage has height for a lift, neither are perfectly suited...

I agree. It looks like you have a lot of space. What are all the plaques on the wall?

I'm contemplating a split system for my garage -- roughly 16X20. I figure I can run conduit on the outside of the house to the outside unit, which will sit behind a block wall fence. The inside unit would sit up by the ceiling so that I can run the piping through the attic and out the wood...

Nice. Seems you and I went in opposite directions...I lived in HI and now live in AZ!
