Garage, Shop, Stuff

ahudsonahudsonMember
Well, the previous "My Garage" thread was shut down, so I couldn't add to it. About a year ago, I showed my leaning, cramped, ageing garage behind our house that was stuffed full. The Pantera was swapping space with another car or two, and well, my wife felt like after 3 years of being outside, her new car should get a spot. So...

I got a small, abandoned building downtown near work. Did some cosmetic things to it, plus bathrooms and all that. I'm not fully moved in, and they're to repaint one side of the floor so stuff is in disarray. But ONE PERSISTENT PI MEMBER NAMED JEFF UDELSON WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, kept egging me on to snap a photo.

So, here's where I get therapy. Add your stuff to this, as we all air out our car(s) for spring...

The Empty "soon to be recoated" Side first -

Wow! Nice score Adams! I trust that for tax purposes, this is where you do some of your best "ideating" and thus the entire endeavor is a write off.

As far as "correct" colors go, it looks like the horsey at the end is dark blue? If so, very nice. If not, you can always re-paint as it is terribly redundant to have TWO horseys in black. Smiler

I think that you should park your wife's Viper in a different area because it's a bit too girly with those macho arse-engined cars. Big Grin

Thanks Mark. Actually, there are three black horsey cars, but one of them is "missing in action" at the moment. The interior of an 87 328 is in the WAY BACK being redyed/reconditioned by guess who, while the clutch is being redone by someone competent (guess who NOT??). That car should be back in a couple weeks.

The Viper a girlie car!?! Tell that to the Viper Club! Those guys are trying to corner the market on machismo, but that car is a flipping blast. Brutal, rough, insane, 3 time LeMans winner - a FUTURE collectible of the first order.

OK, I admit it, I'm jealous.


I have many things skewed, I promise. Yes, that's a 512TR, Jan. 94 build date which means in the last 50 built, less than 10 in black/black, only year with ABS, upgraded diff carrier, revised steering rack, 421 hp stock, but previous owner did a Tubi for whatever that's worth. Sounds better anyway.

Hey, when you get that Mangusta done, we'll laugh about the condition it WAS in when we first met it!

Comp2 - nothing I do is very neat, surface appearance only, plus I'm not moved in fully or it'd be a wreck. My house garage has stuff strewn all over, no kidding at all.

Here's the 512TR if anyone cares...
