Default Let's see your garage - photos

I don't recall this being brought up here before, but I always learn something from seeing other enthusiast garage layouts. I had a ratty looking garage at my house for nearly 13 years since I built the house. One of those things I was always going to get to, but never did. Then one day I'm posting photos on the ADVRIDER forum and look at what I had just put up and said 'self, you need to fix that place up'.

So a year ago, I started in mid-July and spent (6) weekends in a row remodeling my garage. I took out so much junk that was accumulated (about three pickup truck loads) and I didn't think i was ever going to finish painting, but I did. All my pals said 'Pretty - but can you keep it like that without trashing it?" Well yes, so far - so good. This was taken this morning.

I didn't install a lift as all my vehicles are 2014 or newer, and there's not that may times I need to raise them up. When I do, I have my Jackpoint Jackstands that do a nice job. So how about you guys? Let's see your garage and what you've done it it?

My garage is pretty sad too. I did clean it out though.

It's just a hole... Just big enough and functional enough to protect my car... Clearly nothing more and nothing less... And that water under the car is from a defrosting freezer in the back of the garage... Not a car fault! Amazing how much quicker defrost happens with sport plus revving

thats not bad, as long as your PORSCHA (repeat after me) is protected from the lovely UK weather!

This is a flashback to 2008, when there were three P-cars in the garage. It never looked better, IMO.

Indeed! It's taken over a year to get round to clearing it out since we moved in. Priorities for the family were house and garden... Thankfully the car came next

Not a very big one (I'm always griping that the ONE criterion I had before this house purchase 12 years ago was a 3-or-more-car-garage, and guess what the ONE criterion we didn't meet is ), but at least there's good stuff in it.







And just so you don't think I'm stuck on silver 911s:

Great thread! I just had my garage re-done so it gave me an excuse to show it off.

How do you get in and out of the car?

About the size of mine. Where's the lawn mower?
