I've got a small 1 car garage. The teener is kept in there. I'd like to do some winter project stuff to it. How do those of you with small garages work in your teeny tiny garages? Would it help if the car was up in the air on jackstands?

seanery.
I rebuilt my car in a garage similar to yours.... Ger wheel dollies from home depot and put the car on dollies on all four wheels...I jacked mine up after I took out the engine and put the jack stands on the dollies. Hang a blanket over the side you are not working on/from and push the car tight to the wall....that helped me alot... Once you get the engine out, you have plenty of room to sit inside/under the engine bay....thats where you will spend alot of time....so once you get under there you are fine... I got it up high enough to sit upright, all my tools where under the car (sved roon in the garage... Good luck. now I have a 36*130 barn..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
