Ok 85SportCoupeto89RS lets see the polishing shop now

 

well when u live with your parents and your only 19, you can have as much as you can try and get. right now i just gotta get rid of that cardboard pile there. the dresser i have to stain underneght the cardboard and then get those bags of garbage out, then you'll be able to fit an entire camaro in there. theres another dresser(gotta sand and stain that one also) behind the tool boxes and a crap load of other stuff that has to go. its a slow work in progress becuz i get held back by everyone just throwin boxes in there and not cleanin up.

 

I found a pic of my garage when I lived with the parents. It was a 3 door/car garage. Huge, but after numerous engine swaps, car work and not enough time to clean it back up, it looked like this:

 

Another:

 

Dante93GTZ, what poor ride is being used for matress storage in the background?

 

Our one owner '65 Mustang. About 3 years ago, the keys were lost and we haven't called out a locksmith yet.

Ultimately that will be a Black car with black interior, 15-16" TT II's (dad doesn't like 16+" wheels for some reason). Ultimately it'll have a 5 or 6 speed manual and a built 289 or a 302.

Just gotta get my dad into working on it.

 

So long as its a Ford its alright

 

tell him u want to race him or start disin fords that might inspire him to work on it.

or just tell him u goin to yurself lol.

 

We built our garage in summer '02. Best investment EVER!

Since this pic was made, we've added an "office" in the left, back corner and our '56 Caddy is parked off to one side. The Jeep and the TA are still in there at the moment as well.

 

True, its just a sentimental(sp?) car. My grandfather bought it new in '65 and it was a car my dad grew up with in his teen years. My grandparents on my dad's side both died within a few months of each other back in 2000 and my parents took a road trip with a flatbed trailer to South Carolina to pick it up.

 

cool story behind it.
i wished i had some cars my dad used to own they was all nice n fixed up.
liek the s10 hes got now and i told him if somethgin happened to him unless he got rid of it before he died id alwasy keep his s10 n drop in a v8 cuz hes alwasy wanted to do it n talked about it n has a v8 ready for it but hasnt ever done it claims hes too old for it.
i beg him to let me but he wont guess he dont want to drop the 500 for alum rad mounts headers n other stuff to do the swap.
not to mention the work.
point being man itsa good yall kept it id never let it go but id do my best to get it runnin again
just to honor them cuz way i see it if they had it n drove it n kept it up they wouldnt want it settin for nothin theyd want it able to be drivin n taken out every so often for a cruise that b sweet.

 

I really wish we'd kept our old '79 Mustang also. It was a '79 Indy 500 pacecar. It had the 2.3 Turbo with a 4 speed. It had the full GFX kit and the recaro interior. It was COOL! It sat for about 8 years from '89 to '97 due to lack of interest. I was only 16 when we sold it. I loved the car but ever since I was little, my parents said I'd never get it because it was too collectible. I remember driving around with my dad as a kid and people would ask him at a redlight or stop sign if he wanted to sell it!

I only found out that they WOULD have given it to me the day that they actually sold it for $1700!! My neighbor who bought it got it running again in about 2 hours and he took me for a ride. Holy crap that thing was fast!

 

My neighbor had a 69RS that he sold for $800 a few years before I got my license. I would have bought that in a secont. It wasn't a rust bucket either, it was a daily driver in decent shape.

 

Haha, you riced out your wall with neons!

the prowler...id much rather drive the vette or one of the maros...

 

I've driven camaros and vettes....dime a dozen.....but i've only been able to drool at prowlers, i wanna test drive one bad.......something about the style, power, and sexxxyness....i dunno....

I'd rather own that vette than the prowler, but I'd be his slave for a day to test drive his prowler

 

all these big old nice garages

i have a tiny one car garage barely enough room to open one door. o well.

 

just be happy you have a garage one car or 10....it's hard to keep a car nice when you can't keep it out of danger.

 

Here's my garage

 

good thing its white.

 

So go to a dealer and make like you want to buy one and take a test drive. Oh, and it doesn't work when your 18 and try it at the ferrari dealer

 

It depends, if you show up driving a Porsche or a Vette they will let you. Be well dressed, i mean well dressed, suit and tie. It is all in presentation. If you look rich and young they know they can bleed you dry.

 

Gee, I dunno...I see wheels like that on Hondas all the time around here

 

OK, where did you score that flamed car cover? I want one for my GTA while it sits inside. I hijacked the wife's side of the garage. I think I'm ok until her Z is done, then I'm screwed.

 

GTA-SPD, I got it @ work, Schuck's (same as Checker or Kragen). They were very limited, pretty cheap too ($40, $35 on sale). It's not super quality but since the car sits inside it really does the trick, cool huh?

I see you're in CO, you should be able to find a CSK store near you (store locator @ www.schucks.com). If a store is out, make them search the district, and if necessary, have them transfer one from my discrict in OR

 

jcwhitney has em too
go to they website n check or they are definately in there books last catalog i got had em. catalogs are free go to www.jcwhitney.com and search for some or fill out the catalog order form.

 

Its not always what is in the garage, but what you have outside the garage!

got a couple pics

 

another..

 

86IROCKET-Z that shop is sweet!!:hail:

Is it located at your house or somewhere else?

 

It's the family business. My dad's been in auto body for over 25 years, but he finally got his own shop 2 years ago.. Yes i spend most of my time there (sometimes too much according to my girlfriend) but anyways it's only about 5 minutes away from the house.

check out the paint booth (nevemind the st*ng)

 

Thanks, I'll be going to Checker tonight to see if they got em. Around here, the import thing is so big, they usually carry stuff like that. Maybe I'll get lucky and get one too.

They think pretty highly of them. I'm not opposed to spending $400 on a car cover, but if I do, it will be a custom fit one with a GTA logo on it. I just want one to keep the cat prints off the car in the garage, and to keep the paint fromn getting any worse. I think the flames would be cool, that's all.

 

Here's mine.

 

my garage was sooo small comparing to some of yours
the bad thing is now I have none so it's even worse
here's my old one

 

CLOSE THAT DOOR BRO! Your getting snow on the precious beast! that is a crime! (or is it actually snowing inside the garage? do you have a roof? hehe

 

LOL, actually I was pulling it back in after driving in that snow!

 

AHHH!! How do you sleep at night!

 

My black '89 IROC(under rebuild), and my old red '88 IROC(sold to a friend).

 

Crappy O'reilly's banner. What can I say, it was hanging there when I bought the place. And I do have a big banner that says "Welcome Race Fans" that me and my bro sort of ummm confiscated from the Super Chevy Show in 2001.

 

why you say that? I luff o'reillys, they sponsor the TAMS races, and always have the parts i need.

 

Ha! That's why I have to go to a magazine to order my double roller timing chain set.
