So what goes back in the garage?

Rick V 01-20-2013 07:20 AM

Well I haven't really thrown that much stuff out just reorganizing, and actually putting stuff away.
My garage is very small so I have to get creative with storage

GH85Carrera 01-20-2013 07:27 AM

I have a lot of stuff in my garage along with the three cars. I have stuff hanging from the ceiling, and on all the walls. It is all garage stuff very little yard stuff that goes in the storage building in the back.

I only have an eight foot ceiling and the door going up takes 1/3 of that available space so that option is nil.

Holy crap that was fun. I went to my sons and decided to drag the targa out. We had a cabin fire in the heat tubes. Turned all the fans on and nailed the gas. managed to blow that out, although it was hard to drive with glowing embers blowing around the car. Glad I left the top here.
On the way home the right front caliper caught fire.
I think I might have a small amount of work to do before she gets back on the road

My first jag had a nasty habit of catching fire.......I sold it

Rick V 01-20-2013 08:53 AM

If it wasn't for the fact that I have already spent countless hours on this car I would just let it burn. My dad let it sit for too long. :(

Didn't have enough stowage space in garage so decide a wider attic access door/ladder would let me use the partially floored attic area. Kept the boxes my stereo speakers came in so they would not get damaged if I moved. Went to install the wider door and could not cut a beam out and box in the wider area because all the kitchen wiring was running down that beam and no slack to move it.

Went back with a new door/ladder that added a little width because of the metal ladder but wasn't nearly as wide as the wide one I found. Still can't put the speaker boxes up there, but it is easier to put other stuff. Asked everyone I knew if they wanted a wider attic door/ladder nobody did. Donated it to Habitat for Humanities. About six months later some friends decided they wanted a wider attic door/ladder and bought one from the Habitat for Humanities' store. It was the one I had give Habitat for Humanities!

When I was in HS my car caught on fire when I was driving across town to pick up my senior pictures. Being a very smart 17yo I pulled into a gas station, ran in, and asked for a fire extinguisher. The attendants were eating lunch and didn't move until I pointed out that my car was next to their pumps. Then all of the sudden it was an emergency and it got put out really fast! I imaging if it had not been parked next to their pumps they would have let it burn.

It was the gas line from the filter to the carb and mostly only burn stuff on the top of the motor. Oh, and bubbled the already you could see primer in places peeling paint on the hood. I replaced the throttle cable with a piece of coat hanger and kept driving. The heater and defroster never got hot have that.

With all those jobs you must get paid a ton. Why do you even go to a regular job? ;)
