New garage

Still installing stuff. Scissor lift will come in a few weeks. But I have my Marantz 2225 playing anything from Joplin to Zep

Incidentially, first job was replacing front springs on Longchamp, I'm sure you agree it needed doing...

Looks great Mikael (the garage, not the springs). Light, space, warmth and music go a long way to making the perfect garage. You'll love having the lift too.

Crazy those broken springs. Is the mileage really high, or are the roads there THAT rough?

Mark

Broken spring is probably due to standing outside, and 35+ years.

Looking good Mikael...wouldn't mind coming by one day having a closer look...where abouts do you live in dk - I come from Aarhus.

Best regards

Frank

I like it!!! and the Longchamp too!! I'd love to have one of those!

Hey, Frank, your first post.

I live near Roskilde, so let me know when you're near

Nice...

Congratulations on the new garage, Mikael. It looks like a nice inviting and cozy place to work.

Your garage and my garage may be on different continents, but we both have the same music playing!

Mikael, Great looking garage! Congratulations.

70s cars, 70s stereo, 70s tunes. A pattern perhaps? I don't have bellbottom jeans and long hair anymore though...

Good times in a cool garage! I guess it's 'springtime' in Denmark.

Good one

Garage-envy! Congrats on the new garage Mikael!

Now I've gotten so far I've washed the curtains!

One thing I haven't found a good space for is the Pantera fiberglass trunk. Has anybody invented a clever way to tie it up under the ceiling or?

Nice garage, Mikael. Love that Marantz... I'm a vintage HI-Fi guy myself. I don't even have a CD player in the house. Only my Technics SL1210 mk.II turntable and my Akai Reel to Reel - LOVE IT ! Back to basic !

Do you know vintagehifi.dk, very nice people.

Yes, I have CD player, even a modern Marantz network streamer, so I can hear web, DAB, PC, anything. Sometimes I can even hear aliens, but that's another matter...

Finally got the scissor lift moved from one garage to the other, dragging it all alone is not something I'd do again. 2x6s (or are they 3x8s?) bolted to the floor around it. Electric motor and hydraulics hanging on the wall, the only place I could really get a solid fix for it, the power cord was 1" too short, so had to find a new one.

Well, now I'm ready for almost anything that DeTomaso ownership can throw at me

BTW, the Longchamp impressed me today. Again. Well, I'm changing all four rear springs, the ones in front of the axle were "easy" to get at, but the ones behind the axle, couldn't get to the upper bolt. So did I have to lower the axle assembly including removing exhaust and brake lines perhaps? No, the clever guys at DeTomaso had done their bit to make it service-friendly, in the trunk were holes and a rubber plug under the carpet, remove the plug and you could get the bolt loosened

Wish modern cars were designed as user friendly as this...
