My new jack. An AC Hydraulics DK20Q. This will last longer than me :) Very satisfying using proper garage tools like this.

Hi again! Got the engine into the 944. The engine stared within 2 sec on the starter :D This work was done at the car club I am part of. Got the car ready for the race week-end at Vålerbanen in May. Another race week-end at Rudskogen in June. Got a 3rd in one of the races :D

Painted the engine bay on the 944 Cup. Racing brush finish :) I am switching to a later model 944 fuel rail. As I have broken 2 of the early rails. The early ones have some mechanical weeknesses, prone to cracking due to vibrations. But then you need to replace the soft section of the fuel...

While the engine is out of the 944, I am using the occasion t remove some surface rust from the engine bay. I have been waiting for warm weather and the snow melting to take a proper wash before starting. But the winter persists here in Norway. Became a proper dirty job to to this inside, at...

Today I actually got to use the garage for what it meant for :) A couple days back I put up a some tool boards. And hung up some of the most used tools. I guess I'll move the tools around a little. As I experience what is a good layout. But it is a beginning. But... On the actual use of the...

You can buy triangle brackets for hanging a tabletop on the wall. But I figured since I had extra benchtop material, why not build it myself. Yes, the little white door is a chimney cleanout door. The house actually have chimeny, but no fireplace. But a fireplace or gas oven can be added later...

Things are falling into place following the completion of the workbench :) The brand new Ridgid Peddinghaus vice is mounted. It is mounted directly above the cabinet interior walls. And right above one of the legs. Thus the downward forces are transmitted in a straight line to the floor. The...

Thx for the kind words, Drivesitfar and BlueBomber!

But after a day on the slopes, I spent a couple hours in the garage this evening. Finally finishing the workbench. It ended up a bit more extravagant than planned, with quite a bit of oak :) The major reason for leaving the corner "open", is that the box (and door) in the corner are hiding the...

This week there is school winter holiday here in Oslo. So we took Thursday and Friday off to enjoy the nice wintery weather we have here right now. Yesterday we went cross country skiing in the local hills. Just a 10 minute drive from home. Today we went alpine skiing at Norefjell, 1.5h...

Thx! During winter our daily driver is sitting on non-studded winter tyres. And it drags snow, water and salty crud into the garage. But the floor is holding up nicely. No signs of wear so far. But sometimes it is properly wet on the floor, and then I pull out the wet/dry shop vacuum cleaner...

It is dark blue metallic, with all burgundy leather interior. Looking forward to the spring. Turbo is a dream. An expensive dream [emoji6]

Thx! This winter is a proper snowy winter here in Oslo. I try to keep the snow away from the front yard, and it is a good workout to do just that. But now the snow has dumped on us for a month. And now we have enough of the white stuff :) Here is a pano shot. And then there are some cross...

A month old picture. But this is what it looked outside the metro station at work, one afternoon in mid December. This is Majorstuen in Oslo.

Thanks! It’s primarily a 944 Cup track car. But it’s still roadworthy. I guess the car looks a little funny right now. Like a rally car. Tall in front, without the engine. Sitting on the more narrow studded winter tires. And without spacers. We like to drift around in the snow and sometimes...

Received info from the specialist workshop, rebuilding the engine for my Porsche 944 NA club racer. Apparently the lower balance shaft was incorrectly indexed. And this has led to increased vibrations, most likely causing many of my mechanical issues last season: 2x Cracked fuel rails Broken...

Thanks! [emoji3] I am very happy with the baseboards myself. [emoji106] Planning on building a work bench this winter. Really looking forward to having a proper place to lay my tools and other stuff when working on a project.

This is at the local Porsche car club. So it's not my garage, but it is my car :) My '84 Porsche 944 Cup club racer (Naturally Aspirated) had been running smoothly for two and a half season. But the engine showed signs of wear at the last two races. Thus I have made an agreement with a Swedish...

So why did I choose wall mounted shelves for storage, and not closed cabinets? So… Here are my pro and con considerations for the storage shelves: Pro - Shallow total build depth. Out from wall. 50cm Pro - Bicycles, spare wheels and other large stuff can be stored underneath Pro - Car doors...

Subscribed! This looks very much like what I have to work with. I should have done the two-tone walls, to be Garage Journal approved :)
