    First time Garage Owner - Slidemx5's Petrolhead Garage

    Installed my first birthday present of the weekend! So far so good! Also managed to get a few things removed from the miata. Lastly I scored some New Brunswick tools and an old snap on ratchet.

    Put together a before and after pic. I think flooring and final organization will really make it pop. I'm thinking of doing epoxy, a darker grey like my cabinet fronts, any suggestions?

    I worked for about an hour and got the radiator out and a few lines disconnected and labeled, intake off, and the power steering lines to make a big mess and ******* and out of the way. What a difference a lift and not working outside make!

    Depends on your definition of cheap. I'd look for a 94 or 95. 94/95s have the 1.8 and optional torsion diff but still obd1 and relatively light. Torsion is about 750$ or more to add afterwards so it's worth 4k ish to find a nice 94/95 with it

    dubber's double

    Dubber - was cleaning out the garage last night after the lift install and thought you must vacuum or sweep your floor every day to get it looking that great all the time. I think yesterday was the second time I've _EVER_ cleaned up the floor. Granted once I choose a finish for the floor that...

    @fast914 home dept here only carries that bench online. And the mk7 is a great daily. A good mix of luxury and quickness. The miata is where my heart is though.

    Finally got around to putting the cabinets up. They're not exactly lined up how I want them and will require some fine tuning but at least they are up! I also put up my hands free paper towel dispenser to the left. Planning ahead for my sink installation underneath it.

    Got this other cabinet put together. The plan is to have them up tomorrow and figure out some sort of backsplash/guard for the wall behind the work area.

    It's a weird little cubby hole that's essentially under the interior stairs. It's completely sheet rocked so I've been using it for Christmas and summer 'stuff' storage. If it keeps non car stuff out of the garage I'm a happy camper

    Like I said, we were done after a few beers:):beer: Home Depot had the best price, $269 free pick up in store with 10% off coupon that I received in the mail. Now I've got to figure out ladder storage. I've got a 6 foot step ladder and a 17' retractable that folds up to about 4'. Any...

    My friend came over and we put my new foldable workbench together. Getting the masonry anchors in was the toughest part. A few beers later and a second trip to Hone Depot and we had it in. It's extremely sturdy and well built, and best of all it will allow me to park the miata next to the lift...

    Did you pickup the new Jetta to replace the mk6 golf? What made you lose the hatch?
