I have been working on my garage for couple of months. it was unfinished block walls with spiderwebs everywhere and one light bulb in the middle. NOW its supercool workshop, it is small about 10ft by 19ft, but its not the size that counts right?? Anyway I bought some framing studs drywall pegboard paint wire track lights flourescents etc, I probably spent about 2k including the garage cabinets and my cooler. I hope this inspires someone.

Heres ours, its basically finished, just doing some things inside. The 2 bays on the left will be ours, and the rest will be rented. If we ever need more space, all we gotta do is take up another bay.

Does that extension cord power the garage.

Mine was powered that way for a year
Well, it has 4 of them but . . . It looks great Jon.

Looks great - mine is getting usable now that I have some power without extension cords. Nice color on that 914

It looks like a great solution to a neighbor who think they should be able to tell you what to do and when to do it...

I went overboard on the electric, there are 28 recepticles in my garage. I had a few extra knockouts in my breaker box. You can never have too many

Nice job.
I have been real lucky. I have a very very understanding wife 
We have a three car on the house and I get two bays for my "stuff". Then this last fall I was offered to go half on a 2500 shop. Only cost me $315 a month

Its full of shelves with car parts and work related tools and my 914 on jack stands being restored. My wife gives me crap about it all the time when she sees empty
garages in the neighborhood.

Well if you are going to dream....
my old boss has something very similar
i worked at playtoys, a classic car dealership, and my owner had in his garage a
53 corvette #13
63 split window
72 lt1, full power, one of 3 in with the options
96 corvette special edition
03 corvette with a custom body on it
and 05 vette
and 65 gto
and an ssr
(and there used to be a 55 chevy bel air, and a 37 chevy streetrod)
and the car lift, beverages, and a few custom vette style golf carts
(now he needs a few porsches, and it will be the ultimate garage lol
mine however, if i can get a picture one day, has the 914, and a 94 yj body jeep (wrangler) with the lift, lockers, modified roll cage, etc
though my drumset is currently in place of the jeep

This is the problem with 914 drivers. Sure, you've got the 914 with the flares, but you're still using training wheels on your bike? You're going to have to lose the trainers to race!!!
(OK, I'm just jealous...)

Thanks, I love the Revolution. In hindsight, I'm glad I paid more for this unit that the cheaper ones out there. I have looked at some of those since I got mine and you can see where the Revolution is Beefier where it counts and if anything ever happens, I can get parts. I'm thinking I should get a discount on my Hurricane Insurance as this is now the strongest part of my house.

My garage in the background. I hand cut and nailed every one of those cedar shakes on the gable. I have a half story over the shop for stuff. 
My second garage. It sucks. It's at the bottom of the driveway and fills with melting snow and rain water. Barely good storage. Oh, my M3 is under that lump of snow.

Posted by: pktzygt Apr 22 2011, 08:46 PM
Big enough that I can put the 914 on dollies and turn her sideways and park my jeep in there and still have space to work. I have cleaned it up and made different messes multiple times since this pic was taken. The only problem now is that I'm spoiled and am afraid to sell this house and move again.

My little slice of heaven. 450 square foot 2 car garage with a full attic to hide all of my crap in. The guy who had it before me used to restore old boats so it was already set up as a shop with nice solid workbench.
I love having a detached garage, I can make all the racket I want without bothering the wife!

Nothing special for me, simple two car garage attached to the house. It's actually the 1st floor of the house. When the kid moves out in a couple of years, I plan on converting his room to more garage space. If I do it right, we can fit 4 cars in there. Done it a few times in the past.

So I'm blaming this on Joe O'brien. Joe came to pick up my 914 for a little body work, which turned out to be a lot of body work, but in the process he go a look inside my garage. I was out of town so my step son helped Joe, Joe commented to him that my garage was a mess, and what is up with those cabinets?
This quickly got back to my wife, who quickly fixed the problem by telling me that I needed to repaint the garage floor and get rid of those ratty cabinets. Several weeks later and hours of hard work, here are the results. I wish Joe can come in and commented on my wife's kitchen. I did not do before pictures, as I forgot. I even added a tv so when I am banished to the garage, I have something to do. I know the checkboard is cliche, but I still like it. Next stop, kegorator.

It's not much to brag about but considering the 914 has a first cousin now to keep it company its not a bad pic. Wish I had more room in there. Maybe sometime soon I will get around to reorganizing.g it. As I am looking at some great ideas in this thread, I am feeling motivated to do that soon.

Space was getting tight (had to shuffle stuff around a lot to get work done), however the cost per square foot was really cheap and quite frankly, I loved the space. Well, we got lucky, due to some bad luck. The building went through its normal inspection last year. The fire marshal said that the wall dividing my space with the empty space next to ours was not up to code on several fronts (the electrical was scary). The wall would need to come down and be rebuilt. The owner of the building was not happy – and neither were we, as having that sort of demolition going on meant all of the cars would need to be stored elsewhere until the process was complete (and I was damn sure not going to pay the guy rent during it all). After some talks, we came to a great deal for all involved. We would move the cars out to a different on site storage facility, they would tear down the wall – however the wall would not be put back up and we would get the additional space at an extremely reduced price per square foot. We would pay for any specific improvements. It is almost done (all the cars are back inside - just some small trim work is left). I don’t have any pics of in its current state, but here is a before and during picture. We did keep a section of the second floor and turned it into an upstairs loft that is open to below (just has half walls/ railings.). It is almost time to start hanging junk on the walls and have the local gang over for a BBQ (especially with the weather we have been having – awesome.)

Very nice garages guys, I have actually moved since I started this thread, and my garage is now a little smaller . But... its not the size that counts
I just started the renovation, when I bought the house the garage came with 1 light bulb in the middle, and one outlet in the corner 
I will update once I get a little further.
Posted by: hot_shoe914 Jun 28 2014, 10:18 PM
Okay, I finally got myself a small shop to keep my cars in and still have room to work on them. I have some serious cleaning and organizing to do and I still need a lift or two but that will all come in time.

Here's an old picture of my garage, 25 X 25, still looks about the same just minus the 914's.
Then a year or so ago I turned most of our barn into a shop, then added on to the side for an office and storage. The main shop area is 25 X 34, the added part 14 X 28.
One of these days maybe I'll get it finished.

If you think your space is not organized, you need to see mine. Do you have to risk a groin pull stepping over junk (I mean valuable parts) to get anyplace in your garage? If not, you're in good shape.

So, I have been building this for the last 10 weeks. I dried it in last week, ready for rough inspection as soon as I finish the siding!

I posted the above pics a few years ago, but never a pic of the final result (below). Timing is interesting, as after all of this work, I am actively looking to move. Found out last week that the buidling next to my space was sold and will be a giant pot grow house, that is being bankrolled by a south merican "corporation". The owner of my building has a big problem, as besides some other car guys, there are also two children based businesses in our building - and all of us want out. Nothing like having a south american funded "legal" drug dealers move in next door. All that work, down the toilet.

just a note here on the amc v8s.... there is no big block / small block.
there was first gen engines from the rambler nash years
then gen 2 or short deck 4yrs from 1966 to 70
and tall deck 1970-91
all displacements used the same block with different bores and strokes.

Was watchin the latest car show and they advertised some quick clips of new episodes of Overhaulin'. A couple of quick shots of one car was actually an AMX.
Incredible, they are building something other than another camaro or a mustang.
The next step would be a 914. How would Chip cut and modify one of them?
