car and wood passionnate here

Hello I'M new on this site and I have a little garage (18X35) and I need lot off strorage.

my plan.

Isolate for the next winter (I'M from quebec the winter is really cold)

And do some custom cabinet.


the garage at this moment. sorry for the crappy pic







the objectif for the cabinet



and the works in progress

 

[bobemmerich]

that is a pretty good small space. At least you have enough room for a car and benches/cabinet.
That cabinet looks good. Keep us updated on progress.

That garage is an awesome size. And i LOVE your mk2 GTI. That car was one of the ones that really got me into the scene way back when.

X2 on the MKII! I auto crossed a heavily mod'd 84 Scirocco for nearly 10 yrs. Sold it last year (after 20 yrs owning it) and wish I hadn't. It was a fun, visceral drive full of snorts and attitude.

The 20V has to be a crazy fun ride

My little girl loves being in the shop with me..glad to see you are including your little one as well. I'll be following your thread along.

Cool projects, do those wheels and tires fit at full steer? I like it!

 

[benyless]

yes the tire and Wheel have full steer. I have a air suspension on the car i can raise my car with simply press buton

Thanks the garage size is perfect for one car but during winter we put the wife car but is probably the last years next winter I think I will store the mk2.

If you like vag group this is my daily (the wheel are sold i search new wheel for this summer)

 

[dubber]

Nice B6 avant! Static? I've never been a fan of the Mercedes Alphard wheels but its always fun changing wheels up and trying new looks.

 

[SBogaCH]

eeee very awesome b6...

 

[benyless]

Yes my audi are static on std coilover

I look for new Wheel for this summer (low cost wheel the garage and mark 2 take take all my money )

 

[benyless]

not a big upgrade but I think I 'm going to love the depth and wide of my drawers

 

[benyless]

I finish the first section is a lot of works I wait final instalation in garage for install the front of drawer. Now is time to begin a other section

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Nice workmanship.

Loving the MK2. Thats not a small garage though, its 4 times the size of mine.

 

[benyless]

yes the size are really good but for the perfection i need 2' more of width.

Some little update kitchen drawer liner

 

[benyless]

one drawer 100% finish

only 11 left

I'm really happy I'm finally starting to organize my garage and my tools

 

[benyless]

a other one done

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

18x35 is NOT small at all. I've got an 18x18 supposedly double car garage. THAT'S small

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Mines only 18x8.

Love the dividers in the drawers. That grip liner looks useful.
