Hey, those walls are begging for some color, or a stripe at the very least. Right after you paint the rails consider enhancing the walls. :)

HAHAHA, nope that would be too busy. The floor and items within my tiny space do the talking and the walls just help to balance it out.

Thinking you should add some fuchsia to the cabinet doors in your space, to really enhance them, they are begging for some colour :lol:

My garage will have plenty of color, light brown, light beige, white, dark grey, and various hand tools in the Vipers with orange, dark blue and black grips, that's 7 colors! :)

Helped out another family member this week; my mother in law's car was in desperate need of some loving, I'm not sure the last time it was washed sadly. They were in Asia for a couple weeks so we are surprising them with an airport pick up with her clean car. I'm sure this also helps out pops in law as he has other vehicles to keep clean lol...

Snapped a couple Blackberry before shots.

I've got to say this season has been much more fun thus far doing things like this while using and hanging out in my new space. Very functional and useful!

You guys are killin' me! After going back and forth between your two threads. LMAO!

Which threads?

You are becoming quite the one-man-detail-operation!

Thanks Rick, slowly trying to expand my knowledge in this area, one step at a time. Lots to learn but i love doing it so it works out.

Just noticed i got the Simple Green in one pic, just a note that was only used to soak the coffee holders that had lots of build up :)

Nice job Dubber!

Thanks man, I take that as a huge compliment from you since looking at all those amazing jobs you've done! Keep it up!

Absolutely love the Mazda Tribute, they don't sell them over here anymore :sad:
You did a fantastic job on it, looks like new :thumbup:

Thanks a lot. Yes its a great package, and this one is fully optioned out as far as i can tell. Although they have had a nagging transmission issue on this one which has unfortunately tainted their enjoyment.

It might just be a single but you did a great job with the organization. Cool garage!!

Hahaha thanks, that's all i can do! Have to make the most of it :thumbup:

Friend of mine popped by last night with his beast (seriously). I had to snap a quick pic as it morphed my garage unbelievably. Thank god I'm into cars or my tiny space would be useless!

Would that beast fit if you tried?

I'm thinking not, its tough to tell from that pic but when he initially pulled up i got a better vantage point. Mirrors would have clipped the entrance, roof would have scrapped some of the inner garage door hardware and the length wouldn't have completely made it. This bad boy is a crew cab with 4x4. Not sure your Q7 would even fit in :D We had a neighbour (since moved) who had an older Benz ML and it was even super tight she broke a side mirror twice pulling out lol...

Hahaha I will certainly oblige, as soon as I get back from a little vaca in B.C. Nice pick-up, I'm sure you will love it. The Mk4 body style is a personal favourite of mine.

EDIT: And yes outside of North America the mk4 Jetta (1999.5 to 2005) were called Bora's.

Sometimes, I complain or wish I had a bigger garage than my 2-car, then I see one like this and see what someone can do with a smaller space, and then I feel bad.

Keep up the great work, your place looks amazing

You should feel bad HAHAHA, j/k. I thinks its definitely in our nature to want more, which isn't a bad thing if properly managed it can be a great motivation. I was super happy to get this as my first garage, but now i would kill (well not really lol) for a double. But thanks for the kind words for sure.


Amazing work dubber. And I love the GLI. We have the same wheels on our Tropic Orange Mk4 GTI.

Thank you sir, nice choice as well, as that is a very unique colour. I'm a sucker for the those specific model colours for the GTI like the Jazz Blue, Imola Yellow, yours and the Rave Green.

EDIT: Actually you should check out June's issue of the magazine PVW ;)

Snapped a pic tonight that i think turned out nicely. I had my car way out of the way while i was on vacation so i didn't have to worry about rubbing a large suitcase against it, or worse wifey doing it by accident :lol:

Great work! You've shammed me into doing something with my own garage haha


HAHA, whatever works for motivation is a good thing :) Start up a thread and get busy! You will find that this site is excellent at keeping you motivated to finish your project as tons of people will have suggestions and may also use some things that you have done and incorporate it into their own space.

Thanks! I had adjusted to cap to straighten out the BBS logo for the pic and then I almost forgot to re-tighten it before i went out for a little cruise last night, that could have really sucked hahaha.

That lovely feeling as the centre cap overtakes you on the road!! :thumbup:

Not really garage related in any sense but here are a few pics that I really like from a resort we stayed at on the coast last week. This was for July 1st (Canada Day), the craziest sunset I've ever witnessed.

Unique house considering the location, but gorgeous view

Views were spectacular from there for sure, it was on the tip of the island with a crazy vista.

West Coast (BC) I'm assuming from the mountains in the background?

Yes sir, Quadra Island, near Campbell River.

Beautiful shots you took, the sunset looks great in the pic, I can imagine how it looked in person.

Thanks dude, it was pretty surreal.
