Thanks.



There's a retracting reel behind that panel but then there's a line running to the basement, where I've got the compressor in a sound-insulated box (with two fans circulating air through it, so the compressor doesn't overheat).

The car is a 1972 911 with RSR flares, a 3.6 motor from a 1993 964, magnesium 1977 transaxle with close-ratio gears, brakes from an '86 Turbo, and lots of miscellaneous suspension work.

Pictures?







Here's a Thunderhill video

The colors of the garage and work space make this place seem so cozy! LOL forgive me for being lame, but i really enjoy looking at the photos. I can only imagine how cool it is to use it as a work/play space!

That's a great work space you've created for yourself. As much as I like the garage, I have to say the outside shed is a really cool design.

VERY impressive use of the space. You've given me some ideas on what to do with my own similarly sized garage. LOVE the cabinet with the bins!
