Sounds like you have alot of work to do. Also sounds like youve gotten alot done. HAveing a space to work in, ANY space is a very nice thing to have. I will hopefully have a 3 car garage soon enough for my two babies to live in...how's that straight pipe on the RR?

LOL! I can just see what this is going to lead to: your mom having 0% of the greenhouse. Just a matter of time.

Cool shots btw.

haha, my dad already put all his tools in one quarter of it too.. haha.

oh the straight pipe is doing good, except that it just skipped its timing chain and now i have to rebuild the enigne.. errrr.. read my other post about that...

Haha, i think the flowers give it a nice touch, giving the car a little exfoliating you know?

I too find humor with the plants displaced. I'd love to see a pic of a 944 just like that with Hemp buds about.. now you've got the centerfold for "High times" magazine.. The drug lord car..

LOL. Could only be better if it were on jackstands in the living room. Love the productive use of the space! Nice ambient light too!

You are very fortunate to have such an awesome mom that she'll let you do that in her greenhouse. I'd give her a "I Love Ya Mom" hug!!!

Thaty's the best part about collecting old bikes, there's always a display spot somewhere in the house!
