Post pictures of your FD garage/storage space...

Hi,

Didn't find anything in my searches so I figured I'd post this thread up. Just wondering what everyone's FD garage/storage space looks like. Mine is a goddamn MESS!

I was hoping to get some ideas/inspiration from looking at everyone elses. I'm mostly concerned about how you store your parts etc. Please post up pictures if possible...

Thanks,
Rizwan

It’s really nothing super cool like the others, but here ya go. Still not great pics sorry...

Shot of my bay and some equipment. I think “maximizing space” is the polite term. Pack-rat and horder are others.

The office has A/C. We had an old central air unit on the flat roof but it had to go when we put a metal pitch roof on to solve numerous leaks. We’ll probably replace it at some point.

Lots of insulation went in with the new roof too. Those old 50’s era buildings had none. Halved our heating costs in the Midwest winter. Stays nice and toastie now, even with a huge ceiling vent going for the cigar smoke during football games...and whatever.

Very nice! Do you work on your car in there also? If so, you manage to do a great job of keeping it clean.

Yeah, I had developed a sudden and mysterious large oil leak that I wanted to identify. So I powerwashed off the entire sub-frame and pan and all that and then parked the car on some cardboard to see where the leak is from.

Found two motor mount bolts that were a little loose...tightened them up and...am crossing fingers. Freakin' engine only has about 9K on it.....

Yes, a while back I'd posted pics of my engine rebuilding/replacement project. The place is actually a bit untidy now...lots of little things not put away.

Anyone digging the Lionel train above the window?

Part of my collection I just wanted to have out....stuff from the '30s and '40s.

I usually tinker on my car in a reserved empty space in a friend's tuning shop.

...my garage isn't as fancy as you guys but it's better than none, I suppose.

This was taken last year before I got an actual mini-workspace setup but even then, it's still bare. LoL.

Here's our workshop that Dan (scrub) and I have setup. I live 2500 miles away now though, so my cars are just in storage on the right lift and Dan is keeping the workshop lift side busy with his projects. We call it "SakeBomb Garage"
