My garage Remodel

[engnerdan]

This last weekend I tore out the old paneling covering the back wall of my garage and started insulating it and covering the walls with 7/16 OSB. Last night I got the new 16' workbench/shelf put up. Now I just need to paint all of it and clean up the place (everything was displaced to do this work).

The first 2 pictures are the before and the second 2 pictures are where it currently stands, tonight I paint and start the cleanup.

Good start! Looks alot like my space. Got a Mustang in there too, same as me! Looks like a decent compressor. What are the specs? You should treat it right. Get it off the pallet. Hockey pucks work wonders! Check here.......................

Please tell me that's not a Fox GT you're using for a workbench.

The air compressor is on loan form a friend, which is why it is still on the pallet. It claims 12.5 scfm at 175psi (I believe), HD sells the compressor at a 7HP but that is the stall it really is a 4HP 2 stage all cast iron pump. I am waiting until I am done with my wedding (2 weeks from tomorrow) and then I am ordering a Castair brand compressor.

Yes that is a very fine 88 GT workbench, but there is a good reason. underneath all that **** piled against it is some serious damage caused by a collision with the side of a bridge. I attached pictures of the replacement shell (89 4 cylinder) I am working on when I am not working on the garage. I am currently welding up all the holes in the engine bay and smoothing it out. Then it will be suspension reinforcements (battle boxes, subframes) and then prepping for primer.

A rare and valuable Foxbody Mustang GT Dime a dozen chassis

That's cool the 5.0 is going into a 4 banger, at least the chassis should start out straight So what size is this garage?

Clever.

Actually I have a freshly reworked 94 lightening 351 (5.8L) to drop into the 89 with a TKO 5 speed behind it.

The garage is 21' 4" square inside with a short garage door opening of 6' 6" and a 7' door on it (looks stupid but was not my doing).

Thanks, the pictures don't do it justice being as small as they are. I really need to figure out how to post larger pics.

Very impressive, a job well done, I like the use of the red paint, and plenty of light.
