Default Show us your workshop.

I have received requests to show the current state of my Porsche workshop. In truth I am just an avid enthusiast with a drive to get things done right the first time. So with out further delay here are pics of my personal workshop.

Nothing special here. The only problem is that my little shop is about 20 feet from the end of the driveway.


At least I have room for my posters and some of my smaller Porsches.

YES SIR!!! That is sweet!!! Loving the parts washer and blast cabinet. I am assuming the Harbor Freight?? If so, what do you think of the quality?

I'm getting out of my apartment and into a deep and wide 1 car garage with a house attached at the end of the month.... I'll bring this back up when I get done applying the showroom finish to it.

Try finding a 3 car garage in Texas. I looked at 1.1 mil. dollar house last weekend that didnt have a 3 car garage! (for the record I am not buying that house!) 1 more move and I am building my own house, visions of a 4 car garage (like a christmas carol!).

Bryans951-
if only the problem was it is too small! Try too da*n much money! I am not paid that well! We went to look because it is in the area I appear to be moving too. I own some land not that far from that house and I wanted to know how it had appreciated so much in 10 years. Now I know. I own the land but cant afford to build on it! No biggie. I am easy any size house with a 3 car garage (min) or a workshop.

Well our workshop is way too messy to advertise with pics right now, but it's basically a deep 2.5 car garage in front of another 2.5 car garage, so its like super deep now, cars in the front part, workshop in the back. Challenger lift out on the concrete slab beside the house. More tools and machines than I could ever list here. Can you tell my dad loves cars and building things?

We're gonna be starting a new project this fall to clean out the old barn (24x36) since we dont have need for it anymore for horses, and enclosing it and cleaning it up, putting the lift we have beside the house right now INSIDE so rain, dark, etc won't bother us anymore...one bay for dad's '55 Chevy truck thats fully restored and former show truck, now just cruising beast, one for the lift, and one for all the welding/metal working tools and machines. Man is that gonna be nice. I can't wait! I'll be sure and post pictures of that when its all done.

Great looking shops guys! Worthy of Porsches! You don't need crazy setups like we have to get the job done.
