Now there's a shed I can relate to.

I see you even have the laptop in there so you san surf SAU while in the company of your toys :P

Mine gets a big clean up after an event - leading up to the events the shed tends to look a lot like yours, with bits and tools everywhere. :rofl:

old man got stuck into it today and pulled most of the bench together, starting on the shelving and finishing some bits off.

Nice one Mat, coming together nicely. I noticed the lights and extra power points you put in. Very practical. You planning on building something special or any more plans for the S14 with this new garage set up?

been living in a unit for a while now so know what that it is like to have no space or no power to work on your car. It is just awsome having space and heaps of light to see what you are doing now,

tell me bout it!

been in a unit for almost 3 years. 1.5 weeks time we move into new home with a large single garage!

cant fkn wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you will end up juist standinbg in the garage with a big smile on your face and the wife will be looking at you like you are a weirdo. great feeling having your own garage.

keep the photos coming or any suggestions as doig some more playing around soon

one day but have to pay for the reno's and house first!!!!

lol great setups here....i have the same sickness.

i have designed our whole new house around fitting a decent sized garage including 2 post hoist. we ended up with 15m x 7m with 2 doors front and 1 to rear to allow drive thru. bulldozers arriving shortly...we moving back in march 2011

great thread, and yes keep the pics and ideas coming

a good way to save space and have a tyre/wheel rack is to run 2-3 post's of rhs or pole from one side to the other of the room but mount it as high as u can with the exception of room for tyres/wheel to come out. will need to make a stand/stable movable step ladder like the ones used at coles etc

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
