I was 39 and retired from the USAF before I had a place with a garage....many times just out in the yard,driveway or where ever. Work hard and be patient is all I can suggest....best of luck to you who's dream garage has not come yet.  |

He said he is redoing his Garage and lawn.. maybe he will pipe in.. |

Thanks for the kind words guys. Darren and vwxtc4free noticed my bike collection! 1997 Beta Techno (old, but awesome machine and better than me!) and my partially restored swing bike. My childhood neighbor was gonna throw it out! Saved it from the trash Doing machine work as a side business has covered the expense of having the machines. Alex |

Looks big enough to me Terry. I have to stuff 3 bugs in a 2 car garage. Cant work on one without moving at least one other to the driveway. But I cant complain, its in the 70's here in good old ORANGE COUNTY. |

Some nice shops here gentlemen. (Especially Terry's) I'm limited to the 1 1/2 garage side of my 3-car garage for my stuff. I need something much bigger. If you like garages or want ideas, you gotta check this place out: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/ |

Very inspiring gentlemen!
I have a larger then average 2 car garage, but I still have no room.

  Usually my wife's car is parked next to it so I don't have a ton of room to work. And of course I have to move the lawn mower to back it out. I usually stand up there at the deck to do work, most recently I rebuilt my DCNFs.  I keep losing my carb spray and buying new, then i found all of the ones I'd bought. |

Glenn, I think there is something missing from your car. Is that an old picture?

I was not reading the posts just flipping thru I see the distributor machine and I think that must be Glen (I don't know him ). I do know he has the machine from prior posts. Scott looks like you live in a low laying area the way your house is built on a pedestal and the window protection,looks beautiful tho.

It's sold up here in Canada under the name of Sharpe machine tools, but it's a Tiawan copy of the baby Bridgeport. It's been serving my needs for Aircooled stuff perfectly, and not too spendy. cheers. |
