What a mess!!!
Well, I'm buying a house in a couple weeks, so the current garage needed to be cleaned up and organized "a little".
With an 11 month old around the house and work busier than ever, I haven't had a lot of time to reorganize the existing garage. Well, moving has changed that. Went thru and pulled things out last night and started organizing things on the one side. haven't been able to work on the car much lately, mostly because I can't even get to it...lol one of the good things about working for the company I do is that we have a LOT of suppliers and that means a LOT of boxes to recycle... or load in my truck to take home...lol so right now, things are still a little busy. didn't take a picture of things fully cleaned as it was around midnight after I got the floor swept up and the shuffleboard table moved back over. so... pic 1 is a heads on shot of all the crap thats been accumulating over the last year or so pic 2 is some boxes and patio furniture my wife bought... and a flimsy shelf that is probably more hassle than its worth pic 3 is a shot of the car with some fairly good sized boxes stacked on top of it (the hood for the car is in the storage shed behind the garage pic 4 is the most awesome couch evar... rotten orange vinyl with wheels... its fun to ride downhill in the neighborhood with a beer or two on the couch... (ask me how I know...lol) pic 5 is the main work bench and one of the smaller storage racks with the garage pc pic 6 is the camaro's to-do list in order of precedence/importance. some things are done... but a loooooot needs to be done yet pic 7 is the air compressor that crapped out on me halfway thru pulling the front clip off the car... which was then put back on while I worked on the compressor befor finally giving up for the night... still doesnt work... outta sight, outta mind... right...lol (its going to the dump when I move) pic 8 is just some storage above the garage door. you can see the exhaust for the car sticking off to the side pic 9 is the currently unused shuffleboard table, total gym, and a few other items... pic 10 is one of my bigger storage racks... with a smaller rack in front of it... and a garden tool rack in front of that...lol and finally... pic 11 is the new garage that I'm moving into...

Step 1. remove minivan from garage....lmao

Spike, I can say this, because we are cut from the same cloth...(it's ok you don't have to admit it)....
Holy shit.....that's a lot of shit. But for reals, I feel your pain, wait till the kid walks and talks back..... Impossible to get anything done. But, also, the funnest times. Good luck!!

I know right... but the trade-off is... 99% of the stuff in the garage... is mine. Emily has her stuff throughout the house.
but she didn't want transformers action figures posed in mock battles all throughout the house for some reason... Quote:
and the new house... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...se#post4947040 start at post 3451 Quote:
thats not all of it. there's an attic above the garage that has more car parts (converting to a 4th gen camaro interior on the 78) and she's almost walking now. she took 3 steps to me yesterday when I picked her up from the sitter

The house looks great! Anyway... I'd like to redo suspension and all, but am probably going to go stockish with a stock LS1 and t56. |

I found a company CAchassisworks.com that has pretty affordable solutions, but you HAVE to use their a-arms, etc. they told me stock equipment wont bolt up to their subframes

That's mine, sadly I didn't buy the upper control arms from the guy. I better not look into aftermarket upgrades... I really want to be able to buy an LS1 for this car on the 16y/o budget. My subframe got blasted and painted. |
