17x27 2 Car Garage

[liquid-diet]

Here is my 2 car garage, tried to do the best with what space i had. I did the floor about 7 years ago before i really did much research, and with all the wear and tear it hasnt faired well.

Since i had a extra head unit laying around i picked up a ac->dc convertor and mounted it under a cabinet.

made a rack for all the wakeboards, snowboards, kiteboards. Drilled holes at 30 degrees and cut dowels that can be moved around to accommodate boards and bindings

used foam floor pad from sears and cut it to fit drawer liners on the cheap

Nice.

Plus, it's always nice to see a kegerator.

It may not have faired well, but it looks like you have used the space quite well! And going on this website gives you 1000's of idea of what to do different! My version of crack What are you using to invert the 12v stereo?

 

[348guy]

Looks great. I especially love the kegerator.

 

[viper522]

I think you've made great use of the space. Everything is tucked up against a wall and gone vertical. I wonder how low the compressor is inside the house considering it looks to be against an interior wall.

 

[Romanova]

Do you have a shot with the fridge open?

 

[liquid-diet]

Here is in the fridge, room for bottles and my homebrew right now

 

[c5golfguy]

Only brew missin' is some Fat Tire by New Belgium! Good stuff!

What are plans for the floor? Are you going to redo it at some point??

Oh yeah... is that a GA tag I see??

 

[liquid-diet]

Actually you cant get Flat Tire in PA, but Pa has enough micros to make up for it.

I havent figured out about the floor yet, probably just going to live with it for now, i'm looking at building a new house now, a 3 car is a must, would love to be able to get the boat in the garage, and a lift is on the wish list.

Yup your eye are correct that is a GA tag

I'm using a Samlex Linear PS (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002D6KN6/?tag=atomicindus08-20) to convert AC->DC

I studded the pegboard up and cut it around the cabinets. The breaker box is hidden behind a hinged panel, this also left room to hide the inverter behind the panel. Also the little box to the right of the headunit is a amplifier and potentiometer that i used to make my own ipod input, volume control, that runs through the unamplified passthrough aux input that is on the headunit

Where in GA did you used to live? We're out in Paulding County in Dallas. We have just under an acre of land compared to what you get in the city.. less traffic too.

Garage looks great!

 

[Ripcurl]

Either you really like boddingtons and you need restock or someone brought over a pack and left a soldier behind and no one wants anything to do with. Regardless, someone out there has good taste

Nice garage too, I've always wondered about the whole head unit thing in a garage, I have a bunch of left over audio equipment and dont really want to use it... now I do.

 

[Ripcurl]

Oh and how many speakers are you running off that HU? I take it adding an amplifier would need a dedicated converter for the extra juice... I ideas are flowing...

 

[andersen24]

Liquid - thanks for the information - MAN quite a bit more behind the scenes then what is visible!!!!!

 

[the_duke]

I'm amazed that you have more rims off of your car than on it. Reminds me of.......oh yeah, me!

 

[Blue Seducer]

Looks great. How do you like the Grip Latch tool cabinet? I have been looking at that same setup.

 

[61scout80]

that's great use of space, i think it looks good. i'm planning to do the same with my extra car stereo

what part of Pa? i grew up around wilkes-barre.

I have 4 speakers connected to the headunit, i ended up not needing a amp, its plenty loud and can hear it at the neighbors. I have 4 indoor/outdoor speakers you can see on in the pic here upper left of STOP sign.

What's the plan with the corrado doors?

Nice looking garage, which car is the daily?

 

[liquid-diet]

The Mk3 VR is the daily, S4 is the weekender.

The doors are from g60 turbo corrado project i am working on. Doing engine work now, bored out block to 1.9 and popped in some forged pistons.

Curt love the Type3, corrado isnt too bad either

Nice nice. The corrado project sounds like it's going to be fun when it's done!
Thanks, the square is pretty much a done project, the corrado is slowly getting there. I daily it, so I have to keep up on the maintenance before mods.

 

[gonzoengineer]

Great use of space. Love the S4! Any pictures of the Corrado?

 

[liquid-diet]

Sure here are a few

Here is day i rolled her into the garage, previous owner had her sitting outside for a couple months in a muddy lot.

Tear down ensued:

bored and forged goodies

and one of the S4

Right im off to build a wakeboard rack like that one. Mine are stuffed in the loft till the season starts again in March, yes im too soft to board in -2 and my boat is not an ice breaker either. Where do you board ? wherever it is I hope its warmer than here.

 

[Cobra4B]

Neat idea on using the HU for your stereo... doesn't take up the space of a standard tuner like I have.

I'm in pittsburgh, wake season usually kicks off easter here, water temp hit about 45-50 then
