Beautiful garage! The floor definitely makes it "pop". Did you install the floor yourself or hire it out? If it was a DIY project how difficult was it to do? Does the floor hold up well to garage use such as floor jacks, jack stand use etc?

I actually installed it myself. Super simple to do just on your knees for hours. You can do one section at a time and move 'stuff' or cars on the completed area and then continue. The VCT is extremely durable and I have used jack stands without damage. The best thing about VCT is that if you happen to damage an area you can peel up and glue down a new tile(s).

TKO, beautiful garage space.

I am a frequent poster over at Garagejournal. The guys over there would really appreciate seeing your garage and there have been some seriously nice Porsche-themed garages that others have posted about that you might like to see.

I can't remember the guy's name but there is a Swiss Porschephile who is a member there who has an amazing collection of cars and memorabelia that all of the members here might like.

Nice job Tom. You have great taste. I like the garage, the Dino, the HREs and the Duc. Enjoy in good health.

No, hardly at all. Only 1060 miles on it. Actually thinking of selling her since she gets no action. Hope you didn't hurt yourself!

Did you need to do any special prep on the floor first or was it just a pressure cleaning? How did you finish the edge of the tiles at the door?

Thanks!
