Not much new. Still waiting on wheels. Glen says maybe another three weeks. :(
Planning on getting the car Opti Coated. Going to try to work that out this Monday. Might wait till the wheels come in so I can get those done along with the rest of the car. Still need to fix one of my broken camber plate bolts. Apparently, if you turn them too hard, they break. Go figure. Doing garage work. Complete top to bottom remodel/paint on the garage. Surprised myself....4 days of painting and rearranging. New shelves, lights, the whole 9 yards. Lots and lots of work. The wife and kids helped out too (painting). Coming along great. Gonna do a little garage build thread. |

Not yet. But I know it's going to be upwards of 6 to 7 hundred for the swirl remover and then opti on the entire car (wheels, calipers, etc)

Probably worth it though - never having to worry about swirls and whatnot.

Exactly. Jay does AWESOME work....seen a LOT of cars he's put out and they have all been stellar. So we'll see. Will find out price on Monday. Wheels in 3 weeks. Take it in and done.

Doooooooiiiiiiiitttt!!! I'm seriously challenged in regards to garage organization, and mine needs a thorough cleaning before the SS arrives. I got a new battery in my Formula yesterday so now I can move it out of the garage and wash it. Shelves need organizing, junk that's no longer needed must go...etc.

Oh, I got rid of a lot of stuff. Going to build a little shed out back for the lawn stuff too...clean that out and make more room. It's been a b***h. I want to get in there now and just get it done, but I'm worn out. Needs to get done though. I have a ton of pix I'm going to put in there. Not too many before pix, but lots of during..lol.
The only thing that needs to be done that I don't want to do? Acid wash and paint the floor with that gray coating. Bla....another $107 for the mix and paint. EDIT: Maybe I could do the piece together mats?? Wonder what that would run... |

The piece together mats cost more. I did the epoxy coating on my garage floor and it's a breeze, though, I already had a clean concrete surface so I didn't have to do the acid etching.
It's still really simple, though. I recommend getting a paint pan that is sturdy. I bought the cheapest flimsy plastic one from Home Depot and I immediately regretted it...

Cool. My garage floor is filthy....from oil to paint, epoxy, well....tons of stuff on the floor I'm going to have to pull off. The cool thing about the kit that I got is that it's got a lifetime guarantee. Says on the box that if it ever starts to peel up, you can call them with the serial number on the box and they'll give you a refund. Not bad... I hear the floors like to crack under tires if the floor is wet (like you pull in after a rain repeatedly). Either way, that'll be the next project. The kit is sitting in the garage. And I have to go back to HD anyway to get a new air compressor hose. Seems I rolled the hose up on the motor and the heat burned a hole in the 50ft extra hose I got. I'll pick up another pan then.

Rust-Oleum? That's the one I got - Gray epoxy with the blue/white/black paint flakes.
It looks great, I just have to finish at some point by completing the trim of the garage floor (the part of the concrete that comes up about 2 inches all the way around the garage walls). I didn't have any paint brushes when I did the floor so the sides will get done eventually. Just remember, you can't walk on it for 24-ish hours and you shouldn't put any cars on it for about 3 days.

And seeing as though you can't park on it for a few days, it looks like the Kia is going to be sitting outside for a week. Oh, not only that, but I'm going to keep that box in the attic just in case as well! When I started the garage renovation, I had more room and clearing crap out in mind. So...I just built a "lean to" on the side of the house between the house and the fence today....gated it in with hardware and all. Now ALL the lawn stuff is out of the garage and in the shed. I can't believe how much more room there is now in the garage...unbelievably nice. Hopefully tomorrow I can go by Jay's in the morning and get that quote on the Opti-coat. |
