Beginning to a great garage

[scir16v]

I finally was able to upgrade my garage space by having one built. I started off with an odd shaped one car garage and now have an oversized 2 car garage with plenty of ceiling height.

As always, projects are never truly finished, even when they are finished.

The size of the garage is 24x26. I have doors on the front and the back to pass a project car out the back of need be.

This is what I have done so far, but I will have some questions too.

Holy smokes that floor is beautiful !!!

Are all the lines saw cuts ??

You mentioned a project car, whatcha have in mind

 

[scir16v]

Yes, the lines are sawcuts. I've done a bunch of research on coloring concrete. It is Acid stained, and I found the best way to keep colors separate are by putting sawcuts in the floor.

I currently have a couple of cars that are projects. A 93 240sx, an 86 fiero SE, and a 2013 Scion FRS

wow that floor looks amazing!

Thank you all for the compliments. The floor is still a work in progress. A bit more staining to do, and then sealing it.

Then I'll get to wiring the rest of garage.

Here’s what I used for the sawcuts.

It was this or a mongoose. This was $400 on amazon. The mongoose is a $2500 tool

Just replacing. I got the frs from copart as a flood salvage car. Water in the cyls when they were determining if they could bill it as a running driving car.
