I've never had my own two car garage, so I've never had my two 914s side by side in the garage. I'm so excited! I just brought the blue '74 home tonight to join it's brother in the two car garage at my new house. We just purchased our first home and it's so nice to have both cars indoors, protected and dry. So cool! My pop and I are taping, adding texture and painting the walls this week. Will post follow up pics then. The next two projects will be to add LOTS of shelving and build a work bench (where the stacked minilites are stacked). The air compressor and table saw are there, but you can't see 'em.
That's an '82 GS450A (Suzukimatic) automatic motorcycle in the foreground. I sold my '04 Triumph 955i Daytona in '08 and replaced it with that until I can pick up a BMW 650 GS. I'll probably keep that Suzukimatic either way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Plan on a 914 tour / bbq here later on in the spring or early summer. We've got RV parking along side the house that leads to the back yard. I can squeeze a lot of 914s into that space! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Yay! Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks everyone! Sylvie knows without question that the garage is my turf. She's traveled light over the years and has never been interested in collecting junk, so there's really nothing she needs to store in there. She's even said the magic words, "the garage is yours", so I think I'm home free for the time being.
On the shelving - I'd rather build than buy, and the shelving needs to start around 6' high so I don't sacrifice anymore floor space. It's tight in there with the two cars, bike and potential work bench. I'd rather have the support joist come down from a 45* angle from above the shelves down to the outer edge than hang below (again, head banging potential lessened). I have a tall step ladder, so no biggie. I've got floor to ceiling cabinets in there for the stuff that needs to be quickly accessed. *dreams, plans and wishes I had more time to build this weekend* John, did Mark fix your CV? Mark, I went ahead and purchased the poly bronze for Ms. Blue 914. Mr. Yellow will be in line to get a set of the roller bushings when the time comes, which will be sooner than later. |
