AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I know there's a few of us who have ongoing projects to make our garages better, so I thought we could have a thread for those lucky few to show off their awesome spaces. Bragging is perfectly ok, before and after pictures are really good. Hints/tips and advice are encouraged I found this before and after on pistonheads: I'll take some pictures of mine when I get home 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Does your garage look like the 2nd one Matt? If so, can't wait to work on my car next sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 No! mine is small, with an uneven concete floor, no power and a slightly broken door so it slams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durk Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) that before and after is messing with my head, the car looks a different colour and the door is on the wrong side if I believe that the main garage door is behind me in the second picture Although... If the main garage door is not behind the camera in the second picture... he's going to have a hard time getting the car out!

AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think you're right Durk, it's the opposite way round to the first picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the main garage door is not behind the camera in the second picture... he's going to have a hard time getting the car out! He may have two garage doors in the 1st picture, would also explain that the side door is out of shot. and in the refurb he got rid of the 2nd garage door.

AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I was thinking he added the side door, because you can see a lintel where it would fit in the "before" picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout, very possible Either way... his before picture looks about as good as I could hope my after picture to be! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 My problem, is that I can get the car in, but the doors are so long I can't get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 That's so cool! Presuimg that isn't your one? Although surely two lifts would be better for the top layer? Then you don't have to move two cars out to get one down? To be honest, if I had enough money to have that issue, I wouldn't complain either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I wish!......mines full of junk. But what a garage though, that's my dream garage.....I'll keep doing the lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 So according to this thread, the fact I can see my floor is an achievement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm waiting for Keyser to come along, in fact maybe the planners are worried his garage will end up like the one justthejedi posted Mine is a storage unit too that said there's enough floor space for the bbq, my bike and my brewing facilities which consists of a small table with a keg on it going through second phase.... Hopefully have that bad boy demolished over the bank holiday though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
