Newbie with Garage Pictures

[geordie]

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I'm new to this board and have attached a couple of photo's of my humble garage. It's a two car garage. One bay houses my wife's minivan and all the kids bikes. The other bay is the only part of the house which I can still call my own. If I had a bed and a TV in there, I wouldn't go back into the rest of the asylum. I put up all the shelves and three peg boards. I installed the extra lighting and the pull down extension cord, which is great. I've only got one two outlet receptacle in the garage wall and a two outlet receptacle in the ceiling which I converted to a four outlet. No air. Two peg boards hold all my auto tools, the other in my wifes bay hold the gardening tools. I try to get as much clutter off the floor as I can. Under the car cover is a 1965 Ford Mustang which I am restoring. The engine is on the stand, which is a real PITA for the wife. I shelved out the alcove which holds my power tools, paint tins, aerosol cans and cleaning supplies. I'm always looking for ideas to organize more and create a little more space. I plan to epoxy the floor when I get the car finished, or whatever state of the art floor covering is around in about twenty years time.
Any helpfull comments welcome.

Nicely thought out and executed garage to maximize the space you have. The high mounted storage shelving looks great! Any space available in the rafters above the ceiling?

There is space above the ceiling but there are so many trusses up there that access is difficult. I have loft access through a hatch in the garage but it's above the Mustang, which is immobile at the moment.

Looks great. I hope those red boxes are not too heavy. You sure have a bunch on that top shelf.

I'm sorry, but around here, you aren't allowed to play the tease... We are going to have to get some pics under that skirt. You can't just show us the garage with a classic pony under a tarp and not show off your project!!!

A couple of pics 'under the skirt'.
The boxes on the top shelf house another passion, 1500 assorted Hot Wheels and other die cast cars. Ive been collecting for about the last 15 years.

Wow that is a nice car. What are you putting in it?

Sweet project indeed!

It's a 302 Ford, bored out .030", with high flow 351 heads, running about 11:1 compression ratio, old school horsepower, backed up by a Tremec 5 speed and a 9" rear end.
