I've been lurking for quite a while and figured it was time to post something up.

My girlfriend calls the garage / cars my mistress so she thought it only fitting we decorate the walls with some cars and babes... That's whats hiding under the blurs :beer:.

@ 18 my family moved to China for some ex-pat work and I was left with my padre's digs, very nice:

My old baby tucked away and under operation

@ 22 they moved back and I moved out into my own condo, The two car garage had one 60w light bulb and one plug, you can kind of see how... lacking the facilities were in the next picture. I did manage to swap out the old 2.5 liter SVT motor and toss in a fresh 3 liter mil out of an 04 Taurus; becoming one of the fastest standard swap N/A SVT contours in MI.

@23 I sold my baby and put some of the money back in to the garage and the rest to debt... Now to find the perfect E39 chassis for the LS2 motor...

Messy corner with some trash waiting to go out:

Another messy corner with more junk to be cleaned up:

Compressor, spray paint cabinet, humble little tool box:

One of my favorite parts, LCD computer monitor mounted using the Conrods out of my old motor:

It's all somewhat temporary until I can find a house to buy, love looking at everyones set ups... great way to nab ideas!:beer:

Looks good. Any details on that monitor mount?


-2 conrods out of a 3 liter Ford duratec motor.
-3" length of a rake handle (or a dowel)
-stock monitor mount

Disassembled the monitor stand and left the mounting brackets, split the dowel down the middle. Ran some wood screws through the monitor brackets and into the two halves of the dowel (in turn pushing the dowel out and tight against the conrods
