Talking FD Central - My garage the other night

Just a fun pic from the garage... We had 4 FD's in it! The three on the right even run.

Thanks!

Sam's car (don't know his forum ID) is not running because it's getting a full re-engineer. He got jerked around by some vendors/mechanics and ended up with a non-working car and an assemblage of random parts. Damian and I convinced him to put it all back together himself with our help.

Currently almost everything is out of the engine bay (except the motor itself) and it was cleaned out last night so he is going to start getting everything back in there soon. In the end he will have a large front mount ic, 35R single and a bunch of other stuff.

He's kindof a drag guy, but we're going to get him to come out and enjoy some turns too.

Yes I meant a lift would be great for myself.

It sucks having to slide under the car on my back and having no room to work. Not good for someone with a bad back.

I beg to differ

Mine's the red one... the yellow one is a 3 rotor... owned by a very nice older gentleman who I happen to know. He has a lift in that garage too.

Hehe, that is my personal garage.

Just bought the house a few months ago. I didn't really buy the house really though, I bought the garage which also happens to have the house attached...

Good stuff!

That's gotta be the Howard Coleman/Dick Lambert gathering from last year right? I really wanted to get over there but it's kindof a hike from MN plus I had something else going on.

Haha, I think we're going to put together another pic, and get a couple more running cars, just for Damon's benefit. I'll let you know.

Just let me know when the photo shoot is! I wanted to be there too but I got owned by my Defi-D gauge setup! :/

Andy has such a nice setup in his garage. We all call it the "Shop". (I do anyways!)
