Crunched the numbers, and I will be putting it in when I get a spare $300ish for complete braking overhaul. New calipers, pads, rotors, bearing, SS brake lines, Fluid, etc. I want to plop it in right now, but I will atleast need rotors and pads
Garage?????? I have a shade tree I do most of my work under. At least it has a concrete floor (driveway). I live in an apartment....
As for parts and tools, I store those in the kitchen and living room. Mostly under/on the table, a few beside the TV, and the sunroof panel that isn't installed, has a place in my bedroom. (no wife these days, LOL)
I keep the spare cars/engines/trans at a freinds house. I have to use the truck to climb that hillside he calls a driveway. The ruts are deeper than a car can clear.....
I use a trailer to get cars in/out, even if they run.

No concrete floor.... dirt floor covered in a huge sheet of rubber. It's cheap but it's cool in the summer and not ice cold in the winter. I keep all my extra parts on a shelf in the rafters. Keeps the clutter to a minimum.
I bet it is painful. I'm spread out between the garage and the shop, and that's kinda up there for me. I'm about to take delivery of two more 1st gens (one was wrecked, the other fire damaged) to build one good car from the two less than perfect ones, and it's putting a big strain on the available space here (at the garage). I gotta sell something soon... maybe the '76 Cosmo since it runs and drives now.
Where did you get the sheet of rubber? It's not a bad idea...
These pictures are of my Grandpa's barn where I do major work on my 7's. Pictures are from last August when I pulled an 18 hour motor swap.

Well, I spose. But, most of the local rotary guys call me when they need help. Seems this "Shade tree" has amassed plenty of learnin' on them wankel things.........
The serious stuff, like suspension work, clutch/trans and such, I take to a buddies shop, when he has some room for me to work on my stuff.
