definitely not as cool as everyone else's set ups but im sure this one takes the cake on the "garage rehab for Porsche storage" award.
we moved into a newly renovated house that was abandoned for years. came with a detached oversized garage with workbenches and shelving installed already and included a loft for storage. the garage wasn't touched during the rehab of the house and was neglected. it already had underground conduit for power and telephone from the house, but all cables were pulled and all electrical was ripped out. I couldn't let the space go to waste. luckily, my buddy who was an electrician and my new neighbor who does handyman work and had a brother who did drywall for a living, helped me rejuvenate the garage and prep it for housing the Porsche my father was handing down to me from when I was a kid. I needed to have a decent work space and storage for the car so we went all in on it. The pics start when we finally got electrical run back through the conduit and then after we insulated, drywalled, painted the floor and then I installed wired and wireless networking, a computer, TV, decorated and finally brought the car home. not bad on a budget and totally turned a barely usable huge detached garage back into a mancave. not pictured is the beer fridge, a plethora of more flags, signs and memorabilia and of course tools and parts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Thanks
Harbor freight roll-cabs with the wheels took off and metric bolts&lock-nuts added in their fixing holes to level them , then bolted together where the pull handles go on the sides . Topped off with a couple of “new-age” worktops . A work in progress . Me and my helper have been working on it for a while now . ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by ian c2; 05-05-2025 at 06:13 PM.. |
