Your Shop, Garage or Workshop

[sdg3205]

Shop show 'n tell.

This is before my floor epoxy. I'm still waiting on a stretch of time to get the floor done. You need quite a few days by the looks of it.

I'm going to get a used flat screen tv for the wall, probably a smaller one. It'll be great for music, games and straight up background noise while I'm working.

Once the floor epoxy is done, there is going to be a cheap knock-off persian rug in the larger area to the back and my guitars and amps are going to make their way down there as well. yeah, it's gonna rock!

I also collect old tin signs, vintage and current posters and stuff like that. Would love to restore a antique fuel pump for it. I also haven't built a work bench yet. Our tech at the studio is replacing his and he's promised me the old one, which is nice, wide and laminated.

There is more than enough room for 2 cars, so I'll have plenty of room for my next project, a Triumph TR6! ...... I just might have to restore a Miata for the wife first.

[Bitsyncmaster]

Now if your title was the messiest shop, I would post.:(

[dvonk]

eh, my garage is an non climate-controlled 20'x20' cinder block dungeon with barely enough room for two cars... but its better than no garage at all! :biggrin:

here is a photo from right after we moved in. i have more storage, accessories & junk in there now, haha.

I see you also have the standard issue oil catching piece of cardboard. Nice! I have the same one, lol.

[Ozzie]

Good new thread.

As a Northern transplant to the South, I can tell you that not having a basement down here in SoFL, is a big loss, and that results in the consumption of garage space, into storage space.

As the kids are growing up and moving out, we don't need a house as big as we've had. So...the next house that we shop for, will have garage space requirements near the top of the "things to look for".

I have nothing to contribute in pictures to this thread, other than our DeLorean in a 2 car garage, by itself, surrounded by some tools and mostly storage stuff. I do look forward to more pictures from others, for future inspiration. :wink:

[GS450-Junkie]

Is that little leather couch there to sit and ponder things when you're pissed off at your car ? I like it....

[Kenny_Z]

I don't have any decent shots of the entire garage but here's one from a couple of years ago during my Mustang's major surgery.

http://uploads.m-cgi.com/kennyz/temp/mustang/030208/P6220007.jpg

It is just a 2 port metal carport with a hurricane shelter cinder block construct at one end. The other end is capped by an ugly green "fence".

[sdg3205]

I added a TV tonight.

Full of win.

[Sidaries]

Well, my garage is not so nice, but better than leave the car out. Actually my car is in my parents house, so this is just temporary. Here is no place for any fix. We used this place to make wine with my grandfather in the very past.

[Coulombe]

We moved to a new loction just a few months ago. I haven't had time to get all wall deco up in both bays. But here is my shop as it is today.

This is my workshop at my house.


Oh yeah, that must be sweet to have all that room, dedicated only for cars.
Is that attached to a home?
I assume this is also a rural location?

[guss23]

I have 2 acres. My workshop is next to my house. Unfortionatly, the shop was on the property when I bought it. We built our house next it but I would liked to have it orented it a little different. It was a 35X45 aluminium poll barn. I had the aluminium removed and recovered with steel and extended it by 10 as well as a 20 storage addition. I plummed it and coated the inside with insolation and covered the interior with steel. My wife and I epoxied the floor. I built a paint booth and installed the lift. I can fit 7 Deloreans in it (and have).

My workshop, for the most part, is Ozzie's garage when im in SoFl.

It is also Brandon's garage when im in Orlando. :)


Not having a garage anymore sucks ass.

lol, anyone else think it is ironic that a guy who works on DeLoreans has a paint booth ;)

[guss23]

I have restored about 15 WWII military vehicles. Also having a vented place to shoot spray paint is really helpfull. I also use it when I do engine tests in the winter. You would not think you would use it much but it is shocking how much it is used.

Wow! These are some really nice work shops and mancave's.

This is kinda like Pee-Wee Herman following up John Holmes, but here's my little garage. It's small, but it works for me. :)

Here is a shot of the new garage I designed and helped build this summer in Chicago. It reflects the look of the main residence. My DeLorean gets a private bay, which is exciting. I haven't finished decorating or outfitting the inside with some of the historical items I have, but next Spring I plan to do a bunch of things to spruce it up. Also need to hang the dealership sign that is hiding behind the car currently. :biggrin:

Really nice garage!
Can't wait to see it with all your historical item :smile:

[guss23]

Just a quick update!!

This is my shop as of tonight. Believe it or not, I had 2 more Deloreans in my shop a couple of days ago. There are 2 in storage not seen in the storage area in the back of the shop!! Now there are only 4 in the working area and 2 in storage.

This is Alex Mishels car. He brought it to me this summer with some major issues and he and I did a pretty good job getting it road worthy. He had never touched a screwdriver and did a great job!!

Sgt Rick Vermillion and I have done a lot of work to his car over the past 2 months as well. His 5 speed is now done and he just bought this '82 Auto from me and he and I are going to restore it over the next couple of months.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/sharkey5/100_1848.jpg

This car will be here on Saturday. I found it for a Father and Son in Canada. They are coming down and helping me take it apart right after Christmas and returning at the end of Jan to help with the final assembly and tuning and then they plan on driving it home. FYI this is the Delorean at Francen and Son, 5 miles from DMC midwest. THANKS DAVE!!!:rock_on:

One could eat off the floor in that shop. It's even more impressive in person. Glad I could take one of those Ds off your hands so you could have more space.:woot:

[guss23]

Hay Jim,

Its good to hear from you. Hows it riding? Please give me a call sometime and we will set up your spring oil change and service! We also need your information for the club newsletter.

My wife made the curtain for the garage door windows, using the DMC logo from the front of 1258 as a template.

P.S. That jacket IS bad ass! I'd love to get one myself!

I think after 2 or 3 times waiting an eternity for the door to open I would be thinking why the f%$^ did I waste my money on this when I could have bought a nice car to put in it instead of these chairs?

If I ever decide to build a garage like that for a dumbass Nissan pickup and a bass boat, please talk me out of it. Of course, hell will freeze over before I'd own a bullshit japanese pickup, so probably won't be an issue.

the small building houses the tooling stuff, lathes, welders grinders, etc. also mowers which are used more often than I'd like.

Thanks for the invite and the oil change offering Jason (or Guss if you prefer :)). I'll be giving you another visit for sure!
The car is dialed in perfect. Just need to replace that pesty 2nd gear roll pin. I just know what I'm gonna see when I split the transmission

There have been a few changes since I first posted here.

My parents moved out of my childhood home in Toronto. I was told to clean out my old room and either take my stuff or throw it out.

I shipped out a bunch of things via fedex, like old trophies, pictures (yeah, real ones) model cars etc etc. Now they've finally got a place where I can enjoy them again.

VIN 2991 is about half done a VOD rebuild and 3205 is undergoing some cleaning so I can locate an oil leak.

[vwdmc16]

I thought I had posted here but it seems not. My new house has a bit smaller garage than the last but im happy to have one still. There is just enough room to work with the delorean, tool box and carts, compressor, table, 3.0PRV on a stand, shelving, a sink, washer and drier and my '72 Honda.

When the honda's body is done and painted its going outside ( maybe) and the next project will begin, my v8 1975 Volvo 242. Garage room will then become a premium.

This is before my floor epoxy. I'm still waiting on a stretch of time to get the floor done. You need quite a few days by the looks of it.

I'm going to get a used flat screen tv for the wall, probably a smaller one. It'll be great for music, games and straight up background noise while I'm working.

Once the floor epoxy is done, there is going to be a cheap knock-off persian rug in the larger area to the back and my guitars and amps are going to make their way down there as well. yeah, it's gonna rock!

I also collect old tin signs, vintage and current posters and stuff like that. Would love to restore a antique fuel pump for it. I also haven't built a work bench yet. Our tech at the studio is replacing his and he's promised me the old one, which is nice, wide and laminated.

There is more than enough room for 2 cars, so I'll have plenty of room for my next project, a Triumph TR6! ...... I just might have to restore a Miata for the wife first.

That is one nice garage.

Heck yes! Love Phish. People love to bash that band more than a DMC. I think they tune out as soon as they hear the name, as if listening to the damn music means they have to light one up and talk about the universe or something. Their loss, that's for sure.

I have the Danmar "MaxJax" lift and love it. Next house will have 12' ceilings in garage so I can get a full sized one in there. Having a lift is one of those luxuries when you don't have one and a necessity once you do.

Agreed. My next house will be able to accomodate a MaxJax @ the bare minimum.

Nice garage wall, with the 4 seater DMC :)

Thanks Domi!

For anyone that doesn't know, those parts on my wall are some of the Lapple master panels that I have - more info here: http://delorean.ie/lapple.html

I've been trying to tidy up my garage to make some room so I can work on the 4 seater over the winter, so I unpacked some of the panels and hung them up.

When they were in the factory in Carlow they were hung up on the walls like this, so there are already some holes in them I can use for mounting. I didn't have the room to hang them up in my garage in Ireland so it's nice to have them on display now in NJ - I'll have to be careful not to hit my head off them though while working on the car. :)

When I was at a show in Killybegs a few weeks ago, a guy came up to me and told me he worked in Lapple back in the day. He remembers the panels hanging on the factory walls. His name was Ciaran Mc Gowan if I remember right.

Concrete floor is half missing its green paint and is heavily pitted, walls filled with odds and ends, ladder leading to the attic with even more odds and ends, rusty freezer, fire extinguisher right between the doors (so that's where we keep that thing...). Oh, and a DeLorean!

When I first started looking for my D, I originally wanted to expand the garage into a three car garage and fix it up a bit, and then save up for my D. This horrendous garage is due to my impatience to finally live the dream :biggrin:

Irish Tricolor, for the factory :)
:

I think you are mistaken.

There is no way that flag ever flew over the factory.

Of course it is the Irish flag (pronounced "Trick-ler" btw), but it is because John is Irish.

Just a little attempt at humor on my part.

Luckily no-one in Ireland ever got upset over a flag anyway. :)

Oh, good - I though I was the only one crazy enough to work on a car in a single wide tandem garage. Man I can't wait for a bigger space.

Lookin' good, Dave.

Cheers

[sdg3205]

You know what Steve? It's not that bad! Definitely easier to heat a bit in the colder month and literally prevented me from getting a 3rd project car. Probably a good thing!

[guss23]

My shop is coming down in Dec and going to be rebuild... Bigger, stronger,faster.....I have the techknowlagy. Adding 22 feet, two more lifts. It will be 80 X 35. I can't wait!!

I'm looking at the Jag. XJ6?

[Shep]

I'm looking at the Jag. XJ6?Good eye! It is indeed an XJ6. 1993 model year, called by a few repair shops as probably the best condition jag they've seen of that kind. Of course, that's probably due to my dad's unwillingness to trade it for the show car he really wants, but that's a story for another thread :giggle:


Still runs and drives great though! :thumbup:

[Tamir A.]

So my metal guy finally finished the stand for the DMC Dealership sign. I had some time to put some other DeLorean items on it and clean out the garage. Took a bunch of photos, here are some cool ones. I still plan on adding posters and historical items to the walls and shelves, will update pics. when I get around to doing that.

[DeLorean03]

Here's a couple completely random assortment of pictures of my garage.

17618
6" wheel grinder, 3" wheel grinder with adjustable speed, drill press, and 5" vise

17619
Traffic light with sequential circuit

17620
Walk/Don't Walk sign tied into traffic light's sequential circuit

17623
Creeper and whiteboard

17624
Random assortment of stuff - saw-blade clock, old GotFlux plate, and other goodies

17625
Some of the tools on the pegboard. The fun goodies are in the toolchest, which I'll take pictures of another time.


17621
An overall big shot of the rest of the front of the garage.

17622
The DeLorean back home on March 16th, 2013.

Many, many more things to cover and show. This just gives a VERY quick overall "vibe" of the garage.

[Dangermouse]

Man, look at you Mr Organization. :)

Looking good.

Thanks, bud :D. It's a "small but happy" place :D.

Yes MLuder, I can finally cross that off - at least for the doors :D. Got the T-panel and back panel still to do.

One thing at a time <_< ...

[guss23]

OK guys...here it is. I have dreamed of the perfect shop for a long time. It has been a long road with construction starting in November and it nearing completion now. My goal is to have it done for everyone to enjoy for the tech session here the weekend of the Indy 500 event in May. (by the way..everyone is invited!!). I still have some details to finish but it is largely DONE!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/sharkey5/The%20Shop/102_3252_zpsd6fd3df8.jpg

From the front and the outside it looks basically the same.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/sharkey5/The%20Shop/102_3253_zps9d8050dc.jpg

I decided to dedicate a section in the front of the shop to storing finished cars. It has alwase been a pain to work on vehicles when you are stumbling over finished vehicles. There is always greasy fingerprints at best and flying wrenches at worst. The best alternative is to separate them with a wall. One step farther...make a place up there that is fun to hang out in...and a place where my daughter can play....one step farther....a place with refreshments......one step farther.....

In the end I ended up with a 27' front are where I can store 3 cars and a functional work area of 75' with 2 2 post lifts and 4 bays. The first and fourth bays are 2 cars wide and there is room for 2 additional cars in the back totaling 12 cars. Hopefully, I will never have it that full however. Are I put the final details in I will post more pictures.
What do you think??

[Shep]

What do you think??*fap fap fap fap*

Best. Garage. EVER! :jawdrop:

[Nicholas R]

I don't know, I mean Pole Position? You should just get the extra ROM chips to make it a Pole Position II. Handling is a little more realistic and you have 4 tracks to choose from. :wink:

Seriously though very nice :thumbup:

[Kenny_Z]

aaaaand jealous. That is a seriously nice garage. Congratulations.

[Tillsy]

OMFG!!! :jawdrop:

Very cool man, very cool!

What brand are your car lifts? When I get to the point I can build something like this, I want those lifts. We have them at WP AFB and every other auto hobby center I've ever seen on base.

Why can't I have friends like you? Haha. Nice something to inspire me when building my own.

[ALEXAKOS]

OK guys...here it is.
What do you think??

Hey Jason!
Nice to see you here. We had a chat over Ebay PMs about a month ago on one of your D's selling there.
You got some serious sheet there;)
Too bad I can't be there for the Indi event.

What do i think?
I love it. Would be a great place to meet up as a bunch and drink a few beers;)

In fact, anyone with a lift would be my new best friend....

[Domi]

Amazing place, congratulation ;)

[ed77katr]

18376 Heres mine... Small Barn, one car Garage w/ workshop. I took wall out and crammed 4 in. My daily Driver sits where I stood to take Pic.. The 3 cars here are the DeLorean I will restore? Then the 79 Actual mile Fiero that has never been Driven.. Then my first car Ive owned 36 years ..1977 Ford Granada Ghia cp V8 I bought new on Mar.29,1977 [don't ask why LOL] :rofl: My Home & Garage sits 900 feet from the Atlantic Ocean on a South Jersey Barrier Island. I was spared in Hurricane Sandy.

[ALEXAKOS]

Talk about good logistics! You can stack your cars;)

[vwdmc16]

yeah how is the Fiero held up?

[refugeefromcalif]

Based on another thread, it's sitting on concrete blocks.
They are visible at the left side of the rear tire. Where the front ones are, I don't have a clue.?

George

[ed77katr]

yeah how is the Fiero held up?

Its sitting on Concrete Blocks. All 4 sides. Just close to other car at front. Since it was never driven & I needed to store another car under it we cemented it 4 feet in the air. Gives me a whole nother spot in there. It was summer of 2006, I was telling friends I was gonna buy a lift.. My buddy said "We can do that free!" So a case of Beer and 50 leftover Blocks, a GOOD Floor jack,and a day later..

[Mark C]

Keeping the DeLorean/Fiero theme alive, I thought I'd post a couple of shots of my garage. Please excuse the car placement - I didn't know that the DeLorean is supposed to go UNDER the Fiero.:deviltail:
Two years after buying a dealership sign, I finally made a place for it in my garage. To my surprise, the lights worked perfectly the first time I put power to it.

Credit to Julee for the "Live the Dream" words/letters idea. I haven't 100% decided if I am going to stain them or paint them silver or where to mount them more permanently. They look pretty neat though and for about $1 per letter at a flea market, was a pretty easy way to put the saying together.

Second photo and idea comes from the Nerd/Lego thread/comments with credit to Dermot for the DMC lettering idea. Didn't turn out half bad after rummaging through some old totes of Lego bricks :)

[Farrar]

I cleaned up my garage the other night and took a pic. Compared to some of you guys' setups, it's a broom closet. But it's big enough for me to work in, out of the rain and sun, which is more than I had a year ago.

Sorry the tops of the shelves are cut off. I forgot my camera was in "widescreen" mode. :lol:

[Domi]

After many years, I was able to get the car back home. It spends the past 19 years at my parent's home.
So, here is my little garage, almost finished.
I have to put some DeLorean poster on the wall to make it perfect, but it's a good start.
Here are a few pictures:

[ALEXAKOS]

Domi......
:ohcrap::ohcrap::ohcrap::ohcrap::ohcrap:
This is your D's crib?
Amazing! Would never have thought that a Delorean Garage like that exists in Europe.
You must feel so tempted NOT to take your D for a drive.....:cool1:
Looks perfect in there!

[Dangermouse]

Nice spot Domi :)

[Domi]

Yes, the DeLorean's room :biggrin:
I waited so long to have my own garage with that kind a ground (black & white)
The wall are waiting for their posters and flag ;)

Common Iphone Ipad issue.
Will need to with which hand shooting comes out right. Depends how you have rotated the device to shoot.

Even upside down the place looks great!

[Domi]

You plenty of room to work on your DeLorean, this is great :wrenchin:

[Delorean3610]

It's 40'w x 60'L x 14'h, 5 ton lift, fridge, tv with cable, hot and cold water on tap and hose, and exhaust fan. That's not counting the three car garage attached to the house. It's my dads.

Dude I'd just love to have a one car garage....I have to rent out a garage. I miss my house in Colorado :( I took for granted my garage, now all that I have is a car port. (had to sell my Colorado home when I got offered a job in Michigan, the ex didn't want to be a landlord in the divorce, she lives in Utah, me Michigan, house was in Colorado empty for 4 months until we sold it).
