Garage Set Ups

[zebra]

Too much $$$

[nismoman]

Those scissor hoists would do the job in a low ceiling garage, but they cost the same if not more than a proper hoist.

Would be nice if they were cheaper.

really?

darnit

unless you keep hassling your local bob jane/payless tyres/beaurepairs shop to sell theirs hehe

getting some good ideas. curently working on the bench and shelves but lights are in and still a lot of stuff to get off the floor onto the shelves/bench once finished as well as finishing the painting of the floor.

Bench under construction

View from a bit inside Garage Entrance (it looks quiet small but had to zoom in)

C Channel for the Shelves

Finally get my grinder/polisher back

And my baby who has not had much use in the last 2 years.

I wish I was as organised as you guys....

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

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.

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

We need more shelving for ours. Run out of room so quick.

Next i reckon it a plasma/LCD for the wall

Nice set up guys

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?

jeez i wish i had half of the spae some of you guys have!

[boxheadmr]

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,

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

Got a new toy in the shed on Sunday, $3410 delivered and installed. No more cold sliding about on the floor with jack stands YAY!!!

[Noddy]

I thought I had all ready posted my shed up here already...... but I thought wrong.

I built it myself, from the ground up. I got the concrete's to do the pore and a mate helped to stand the frame.

[phunky_monkey]

Nice garage

Seems pretty reasonable for the hoist too!

[boxheadmr]

very nice!!!
