Gustav_t´s danish garage

[Olliecampbell]

Lovely garage, nice attention to detail.

Good luck with the child!

 

[Omphaloskeptic]

Enjoy the next few weeks of 'freedom'. Soon you won't be reaching for tools; you will be holding your breath while working with baby wipes! lol

 

[Sahara54]

As my first post I just want to say that you've built an awesome collection of VW's and the garage is pretty awesome too. I love the use of the old dealership cabinets and displays.

 

[Gustav_t]

oops I bought another one. I have become a dad and needed something more practical for the events. So I found a 1972 Poba camper that has been sitting since 1999. It is to high to get into the garage and smells really funky not being opened since 1999. So I took a cup of coffee in it - planning how to get room for another one in there...

 

[Gustav_t]

As found.. sitting since 1999.

Congrats on the new addition to your fleet.

Garage and vehicles look great!

I'm from Denmark too. Jeg er fra Kolding, men er mest hos mine foraeldre paa Fyn naar jeg er i Danmark disse dage.

Hej Gustav - En hilsen fra Danmark ;-)

It was actually your garage that led me to create my profile here in the dawn of time... So you are directly to blame for all the time I've spent here! ;-)

My brother in law has built one of Denmark's finest buggies, and is now working on a V-Rod project... The work is performed in conjunction with other VW geeks in an old barn they call "the cave", so I know all about the VW people's obsession of collecting things from that specific brand (... and I do the same with the Italians my self).

It's a great garage you've built, and an equally great thread you have created around it!

Now that I came by your thread, I thought I owed ​​you a message... after all the time you've cost me ;-)

Vi ses på vejene - Foråret er på vej

Hi Jacob

I bet I know your brother.
Thank you for the kind words on my garage.
I have new plans for building some overhead storage - so keep wasting time here!

G.

 

[Gustav_t]

I finally got a little time for doing my overhead storage. The entire winter and spring went by making the green bus drivable - and camping in it in Sweden + driving 3000 km in three weeks.

Here´s the first sticks up. Notice that I have turned the mountings upside down to be able to drywall the underside of the shelves. I freebee´d a lot of flush mount spots. I want to build those in the shelves later.

Hi Gustav

Nice shop and cool vw collection, from a fellow Dane.
Love the concept of keeping build cost low, same idea here in my land rover lair in westjutland.

 

[BUGTHUG]

Hey Gustav,
Love the new green bus. What old VW doesn't have a funky smell glad all is well with you and the family. Any pictures of the motor?

 

[Gustav_t]

started drywall on the shelves/soffitts. Next downlights.

How's the type III Ghia?

 

[Danish-welder]

Hej Gustav, endnu en hilsen fra Danmark

Very nice garage sir!

Definitely subscribed

De bedste hilsner Emil

 

[Gustav_t]

Tak, Emil!

The ghia is fine, but needs a little welding and paint on a front fender soon

 

[ggielen]

Awesome build! Nice toys inside too! Now i'm thinking i built too small again, dangit

 

[Gustav_t]

You did (no matter how big)

 

[Gustav_t]

Finally got the floor painted with a nice coat of epoxy in ral 7022. Now all the **** has to go back in...

 

[Gustav_t]

I also got the big main cable from the house put in the ground and hooked up the garages own circuit breaker. Now all the outlets work. Nice!



and under the patio and into the house and its main cable.

 

[Gustav_t]

almost 71.000 views!

 

[Sunbimmer]

Very nice progress. Love the Michelin sign

 

[ugly kustom]

Nice on your floor. I did mine in white, Boy was that wrong.

 

[CuoreSportivo]

Nice job Gustav!!

Did you paint it yourself? I've been thinking of painting my copenhagen garage with epoxy, but i'm unsure of how difficult it is.

Does it come as a finished product, so you "just" have to draw it out?

Your result is perfect!

 

[TRS63]

Amazing workshop, love the style and organisation, and beautiful vws (even if I am more the vintage type who likes vws at their original height..). I suscribe to see the future updates!

Floor looks deep like a swimming pool. What color is that, it looks kinda black or dark grey? very nice.

 

[Gustav_t]

The floor is dark grey Ral 7022.. . I had a friend do it. Didn´t look very difficult - but you need some machines for cutting the surface and vacuuming the nasty dust. Took two afternoons.

 

[Gustav_t]

Ugly custom - I want your bus so bad..

[Bielio]

Those Vw's look awesome man.
Glad to see people still keeping those ol' air-cooled buggers alive.

 

[HiWind]

your spa trackday reminded me of this ...

 

[BUGTHUG]

Love the Shell pump! nice to have a pair of them Love the yellow color, all my pumps are red. Maybe I'' find an old Shell or Gulf.

Volkswagen used my garage in their new ad campaign "generations". Thought you might like it, even though its in danish.
