I'm just sitting here, wildly mashing the refresh button... I don't post very often but I've followed this build since I first joined the forum, just thought I'd chime in that it's nice to see you're back!

Ahh, the tail lights threw me off, they looked like the older A-body style. I still have an '85 Grand Prix that I parked probably 10 years ago. Plan to eventually strip it down, cage it and use it as a drag car, someday...

Nice garage and nice clean Grand prix. A-body I'm guessing? What's your plans for it?

I picked up a very similar Delta stand from Acme a few years ago and I must say, it was worth every penny! I don't have an abundance of room, so I like how it can fold down then be stood up out of the way. I built my saw horses to the same height as the saw deck for when I need to support...

I did a high compression big bore kit, cam, ported and polished heads and clutches. What you're seeing on the front is the rad relocate and snorkels. Rad relocate keeps it from filling with mud as easily and overheating. I'm located in southern Saskatchewan.

Last winter involved two projects, one out of necessity, one for fun. We had record amounts of snowfall last year and of course my tractor decides to blow the rear crank seal and give my clutch a good oil bath... Turns out, I had just enough room Once that was done, I decided to tear apart...

I've been doing a project or 2 during the winter since I completed the garage. The first winter was the repaint and cleanup of my VFR (project "Lipstick on a Pig"). I've posted some pictures of it elsewhere on the forum, but never the completed product. The before The after

Back to the garage part... Due to the sheer ridiculous cost of stuccoing in my area and finding it impossible to get anyone to come out and even quote the job, I chose to do siding on the 3 least visible sides of the garage and stucco only the front face and gable end that met the house. The...

It's been a good long while since I updated this, funny how life can get in the way of things. I've spent the last 18 months busting my *** to finish my house reno and complete the garage. Got it all finished up and on the market just in time for the local housing market to completely die! Just...

How's the shop going? Any progress?

I 2nd that motion! I really want to see how this is coming along.

You sir, are correct! It's a 1990 VFR. And thanks, it's been a surprising amount of work for what doesn't seem like that big of a change.

3 guesses what this bike was originally and the first 2 don't count Picked up the bike on the cheap looking like this Cleaned it up and rode it like this for the summer Then started stripping it down and repainting it this spring Built a custom rear subframe Now nearing completion

Thanks for checking it out. Now it's true, it did come together fairly quickly, but it's also a much smaller project! That and I basically had no social life all winter. We have a baby on the way so there's been a lot of pressure to get it done as quickly as possible so that the rest of the...

Thanks for the suggestions. The shelves are probably going to be staying open, I know that dust is going to be an issue in here, but everything that goes up there will be inside large enclosed rubber maid tubs. The junk that is up there right now is just temporary until I get around to moving it...

Looks like it's coming along nicely, that size of shop is a lot of work for one man. What are you planning on the inside? Drywall? Tin? Plywood?

Yah, dust is a big problem here. Its quite a dry region and the wind does not stop! I have to change my furnace filter every 3 weeks. As for the drywall, seeing as it is not a structural component, no the joints don't need to be staggered. Also, it makes mudding and taping much easier/faster...

Something like that. The previous owner had laid it down and destroyed the fairings, so he had fightered the bike. I like the style of the bike, but it looked fairly sloppy. So I'm stripping it down, cleaning and repainting everything on it. Also building a new custom rear subframe and...

Don't mind the mess, I'm still cleaning up from construction and trying to get all my tools organized (and found). Finished up the garage door openers tonight and brought in the old welding table. Also brought home the many pieces of my VFR project tonight

The main reason I had originally planned to move was because I can't stand living on the bald prairie. I at least need some trees around me!
