36x47 Eldorado workshop

[Dick in Wisconsin]

As for the Brougham, the most I've seen one sell for is a little over 250.

Must be the Biaritz that sells for the huge premium. All those late 50's Eldorado converts were beautiful.

 

[INTMD8]

Yes, I would kill for a 59 Biarritz. One 57 Biarritz sold for 649k but it was the first one made and perfectly restored. Most are similar price to Brougham. (which is interesting as Brougham cost nearly twice as much when new).

 

[Dick in Wisconsin]

I thought the Biarritz was the top of the line?

 

[INTMD8]

In 57 the Biarritz was $7,286. Eldorado Brougham was $13,074

WOW!

 

[The Garage]

That's it $5500 and 3000 sq ft on foam? That costs 3x that in FL! Aaah th infamous INTMD8 and that TT LTx...still wish I had bought that off you.

 

[ODIS]

Really nice work! Many great features to make this space pop. Very happy to have read and to have read again this great thread. We are about to start a new project to increase our garage space and you have given us some wonderful ideas.

Thank you,

Ody.

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks I'm surprised anyone remembers the LT1 car. I wish I had kept it actually!

 

[INTMD8]

Finally have some lights! Thanks to Svend (Platonic Solid) for his help with the layout. 20 7000 lumen ZL1N LED's. Still need to wire the lights under the lower ceiling...

Wow that's nice.

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks Mike!

Jabberwoki, what's the story with that one?

 

[HemiRamOn22s]

Holy Light thats bright!

 

[polexican23]

You are really going to give the Saint of Lost Screws/Nuts a run for his money in this shop.

 

[jabberwoki]

There`s 3 of them

 

[INTMD8]

There`s 3 of them

Ok then, what's the story with the 3 of them?

Any cars or parts for sale?

 

[cpayne5]

Looks great. Very nice.

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks!

A nearby office depot was moving and selling off the old pallet racks. I picked up 3 8ft sections.

A little deeper than what I would have ordered new (44in) but couldn't turn it down for $650.

 

[Boosted1]

Wow that place looks super clean.
Looks like an operating room.

 

[ODIS]

Racks look nice! A shame to put items on them and change the interesting shadows, but, clearly, they are for storage.

What year is your 355? F-1 or 3-pedal? Next month, mine goes in for belts, water pump, tensioners, etc. Going to purchase from Hill Engineering rather than the products from Ferrari. Ferrari of Seattle will do the work for me.

All the best in this new year and beyond.

Ody.

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks! Ody, it's an early 95 (october 94 build). What year is yours?

Hill Engineering seems to have a lot of nice stuff, I will be using their parts as well when mine is due.

 

[Gerald O]

Wow, what a transformation!. A guy might need sunglasses in there! Looks like a movie set.

 

[Scottishross]

Stunning garage

How do u keep the place soo tidy

'99 F-1 GTS. Has been a pretty good car. When back from engine out service will attend to the stickies...............

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks Gerald.

Scottishross, wish I could say it was via the mode of your avatar!

Ody, I used to own a 99 GTS (3 pedal however). Stickies was one of the first things I did on my 95.

What a mess! All worth it in the end though

 

[C_F]

Love the transformation you've done to this place, it's completely night & day from what it once was. Great looking Caddy projects, too!

 

[1949 caddyman]

Just found this thread, nice shop & garages! Love the caddys. Had one of my own a few gears ago.

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks guys! Caddy looks great ^^ I like that color combo.

Finally have all the lighting finished (just needed to get the low ceiling lights going).

So nice to work in there with light!

 

[dontlifttoshift]

Now I understand why you disappeared from LatG.

Shop looks great!

Almost is a shrine to that lift! I feel like there should be pews along the sides.

 

[RacerX10]

How well is that A/C unit working for that space ? Similar to my 1600 sq feet, but i have very high ceilings (30' at peak, 16' at the walls).

Thanks !

 

[INTMD8]

Thanks guys

I broke up with my long time girlfriend and had to sell the Eldorado in order to pay down some debt and keep the house.

So I guess it's the Ferrari workshop now?

A/C and heat unit works killer but I think it has an easy job due to the spray foam insulation.

 

[hemifalcon]

Oh man.. sorry to hear the Cad went away--Hopefully to a good home where the vision will be completed..

 

[Super4]

Super sweet garage you've made there. Keep up the great work. ��

 

[600SL]

Nice Garage, Nice cars.

 

[rusty1]

Unreal garage ..if you can call it that;..I'd of kept the Caddy, sold the Ferrari.
...heck, most guys could live in that garage,who needs a house?

 

[hoho98925]

Wow... Just found your build looking in the lets see your lifts thread. Wow again, amazing, absolutely amazing space. Well executed!!

 

[Djui5]

I hate that I can’t see the pictures. I love Ferrari’s too!!

INTMD8 there is a magazine I was reading called car magazine UK, it’s a 70th anniversary Ferrari issue and has some awesome info regarding their history, etc. you might like it.
