Garage build out with all the goodies

[shakenbake]

what did you pay for the lift? if you don't mind me asking?

They have it listed on their site for $1799. I bought a bunch of stuff and got it for a few hundred less.

Seen any nice rollers? I still can't find anything!

Nothing really that great. I'm looking for my next one as well.

With this new shop, maybe I will come out and help you build the silver car... LOL   That could help fund my garage rehab...

Haha.... I'v been wondering when you would chime in. I was hoping this would lure you my way again.

Damn just measured the ceiling height in my pole barn 8'9" I have a plan in my head to just vault the ceiling in most of the barn and that will give me plenty of height to install the lift. I have 5 inches of concrete? I may have to cut some concrete to put some re bar in but I am getting a lift this spring for sure! I will probably have a lift installed long before I find this right roller. I can't find anything thats not all hacked up and

Finally finishing up the rest of the details. Got the winch bolted to the floor and tested it out. It works great and easily pulls a car in from outside.




My buddy wanted his brakes done on his wifes car so I figured that would be a good first test car for the lift rather than the Rx-7. Everything went well. He is 5'11" and we still had room to raise the lift higher.




We brought the Rx-7 in with the winch and put it up on the lift. It went all the way up without hitting the lights. Exactly what I was hoping for.




First shot from the outside looking in. I still have a bunch of organizing to do to get it how I want but it is at the point where I can comfortably work on a car.

That looks great.   I dig the winch, very handy.

I love your setup. I firmly believe having a nice workspace/shop makes working on cars so much more enjoyable. I'm not sure what I like more, the workbench or lift Nice job!!!!!

Thanks. I'm still working on setting it up the way I want but it is so much more fun working on cars with everything in it's place. I can't believe how much I have used the sandblaster and press. They have more than paid for themselves already.

You need one of these....   (Yea, shameless of me. I know. always in advertising mode but this is a great product. These things are manufactured in Ohio. I'm sure there's a dealer near you   ) ((If you want to become a dealer for these then contact me and I'll set you up)

I wanted one a while back but ran out of money. What do they sell for?

Around $1000 on up depending on the size. A 16x7 would be in the ballpark of $1200 installed.

<-- Jealous. After viewing some of this thread, I opened to door into my garage, heaved a big sigh, then turned around and walked back inside  :lol:. Great job on everything.
