Turning Old Garage Into Pseudo Shop?

[hockey930]

I have been slowly trying to turn my garage into a place that I can work on cars. As always, everything takes longer then expected.
Yesterday was work bench day.
Turbobrickers Derrick (940guy), Mark (940guysfriend), and myself headed out to home depot to buy supplies for the project.
Thank goodness Derrick has a roof rack. The long boards are 16ft.

Don't really have any pics of the building process, but here is one of it finished. The garage is a mess because there was stuff piled against that wall that we had to be somewhere for the time being.

This summer with the help of Rob (turboB) I was able to run legit power, Ethernet, and water out to the garage. The trench digger from Home depot was legit.

With the help of my friends Rob and Brendan we were able to get the ceiling insulated as well.

This is the other side of the garage, You can kind of see the brush strips around the doors. I ordered them from https://www.chateauproducts.com/ off of a recommendation from someone here. I ordered all 45* holders and I believe 2in brush. They were just what I needed and work great.

With legit power we were able to put in a 2ton AC unit and 5600 watt heater, as well as stereo and computer.

As someone who also has a roof rack on a vehicle otherwise unable to carry fun garage-remodel type stuff, YES!!!!! They are useful!

Great start!

Those are some of the craziest sleeper cars I have ever seen in my life. A guy I met in Houston some years ago had one with a time slip framed on the wall in his shop, it was for a 9 second quarter mile pass earlier that year and it was still his daily driver.

The shop looks like it is coming along nicely. Has the workbench had every horizontal space filled with stuff yet? That's how they do in mine.

I hope to improve it as time goes on.
The volvo is a lot of fun, just had an issue on first dyno run where it blew out 4 freeze plugs so the motor is out at the moment. In that picture the turbo had already been removed. First pull with conservative tune was 380hp, hoping to do much better.

Yes that is a German plate on the wall

That guy you met in Texas, was that Bjorck?

I don't think so as such a name would have stuck with me a bit better than his did. He had a David or Steve look as I recall.
