Hello everyone. I just closed on my first real home and I'm excited that it has a small attached garage. My wife and I sold our condo that had only an open car port and upgraded to this little beauty!
We are still in the unpacking and moving chaos but I've been a creeping on this forum for a while getting ideas for my garage. I'll start by giving you a little background on myself. My father is a Ford man. He has a 1934 Ford tudor that he has had since the age of 14 (now 65) as well as a few other gems. He built a nice 28x32 shop to tinker in when i was young. Its heated and has a full second story for storing parts and such. A while back he found a deal on a 2 post lift and that has been nice. I worked at a high end body shop while i was going to college and got a lot of body work experience on top of the mechanical stuff i learned from my father. I went a bit left of center with my interests in cars though. While i love the old Fords and drive them as much as possible i really love European stuff. I've had several VW's and Audi's. I'm lucky to have my parents house and garage to use but i'm excited to get mine set up to have a project going at my home instead of having to drive somewhere to work on something. I'm also excited to have some sense of organization in my garage as well. I really like what some of you have done with your shops. I'ts going to be a slow moving battle for me but i'll try to update as i get things accomplished. Here is a pic from the mls of the inside of the garage and another how it sits with one of my cars inside among a big mess:
