Post a Pic of Your Play Area!

[Gambler68]

another thread here inspired this. I figure you can always point the missus at this thread and say "Honey..look at THIS crap pile! Ours isn't HALF that bad!"

I'll post when the sun hits it, the sun sparkling on spare parts adds to the ambiance. :D

No FSJ yet, but I am looking. When the 914 is done, this is where it will be going to get a makeover....

When I am not working on it, everything stays neat and tidy. Wife is happy, as are the neighbors.

Hopefully I'll be adding a Gladiator to the Bay soon.

Well, the play area for me is camp, which i believe is a reginal term for recreational property, a place to escape to on weekends. I didn't make it up there with the plow until last weekend and had a whole winters worth of heavy wet snow to push. the j20 inpressed me.

[Earl&Mary]

The two projects are parked on the concrete floor of an old barn that was destroyed by a tornado. The 91 gets the shed. The beauty of this is that the vehicles are not visible from the house or the driveway. They can be seen from the road in the winter but in the summer vines grow along the fences and hide them. For now extra parts are stored in the back of the 85 GW.

[grand_wag_85]

Linky no worky.

Wow you guys have some CLEAN shops! I guess I better get arround to that spring cleaning:o

What you don't see are some new cabinets in place of the ladders, and the 4.7 stroker and the 401 hidden in the back!
What you do see is my #1 son with his favorite toy.

[janie]

When it rolls out of the shop and backwards, our driveway see's a whole lotta playtime.

[shackwrrr]

I live at home I just turned 18 and need to move out, my parents wont let me have fsjs and stuff layin around. the garage is not for work and I got yelled at for changing the oil in my s10 in the garage once. The barn was set up for "working on cars" but theres no floor no elec and theres a boat in the way. most of the jeep work has been done in that driveway and Oh yea my j20 dont leak.

[Towtruck]

...all vehicles except the Jeep are seriously for sale...including the lawn mower.

I like Towtruck's garage :thumbsup:

[Towtruck]

Those are 3 of the 67 Bitter SC cars left in the country. One has a 300 hp LT1/700R4 in it. They're so obscure, nobody wants to buy them. :banghead:

[bigun]

I guess I was lucky growing up as along as my brother and I kept it picked up so that you could get around the barn was ours. Dad didn't care since as soon as we were old enough we took over all vehicle maintence choors except his Harley! With three stalls 2 with concrete one with a greese pit we could turn quite a few projects through it!!

Richmond 2 Car - Way too small. (Better than the one car carport we worked out of for years as a kid. We thought we hit the big time when my Dad and Mom went to a real 2 Car Garage when I was around 15. (Great Memories in every garage.)

Just Finished a 12 x 16 Motorcycle Garage behind the house. We did a 100% of it including the 6.5 years of concrete.

In about 15 years this will be home for good in the mountains of VA.
We started off with the garage before the house - the way it should be done!

My folks own the barn behind it too. I'm a bit affraid to show off the inside of the garage as it's a total wreck right now from various projects. I think I'll be fixing the doors and making them lockable sometime in the near future, curious passers-by like to go inside:mad:

Yea, so does my grandpa's '76 k20 that Ive been hinting about for years

[waggy401]

I have a two-car garage with an extra 5 feet on one side. For my rebuild, I parked the Jeep at an angle to have more room to maneuver the engine hoist, and the other car got kicked outside. The biggest problem is the garage door is not very tall - if I lift it any higher, it won't fit in the garage.

[BassnTruck]

You all are not helping me any. My garage and driveway look like a carlot / junkyard so I have been told. And I do not even have all my cars here. As it sits right now I have 3 in the garage and 6 in the driveway. And 2 at remote locations not even including the boat. The HOA has a rule about no vechicles in the driveway at night but it is never enforced. Because just about everyone has atleast 1 car in the driveway. Luckly most here are some form of gearhead and no one complains. The homes here are 650+ I will have to get some new photos up.

Here is one from early 03. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/3/web/735000-735999/735329_184_full.jpg

Lemme get this straight you has a house worth 650K and it only has a 2 car garage? Man where are your priorities?!!

[BassnTruck]

If you looked at the photos it has 3. It hhas a few acres also. Belive me I have been thinking about building a nice new shop on the back 40.

it looks much different now, these pics were just after moving in. now there is insulation and sheetrock, even paint. i also have a nice long workbench where all the junky cabinets used to be.

ready to get the 220v plug put in, and then two nice heat tubes and eventually a 2-post lift in the far bay. it should be paved out in front this spring, and rv parking (except there is no rv :confused:) on the left side of the shop.

i love my shop. :)

[fulsizjeep]

Got to clean up the shop this weekend and pack up a couple things to ship out. It was a wreck from winter neglect. Got the old computer desk moved and set up for QT projects. Got some QTs off the floor and on the shelf. Made a Jeep shrine over the work bench. :cool: Of course it is a 120 mph speedo. ;)

Flint, your work area is so organized it's disgusting.:D :thumbsup:

[fulsizjeep]

Thanks Janie! We'll see how long it lasts. I had not seen the top of the workbench in 3 or 4 weeks. The rough concrete floor attracts lots of dirt I tell ya. I must have swept up 10 lbs of it! Once I got most of Ryan's 401 tossed in the backyard, I had even more room to store Quadratracs! :lol:

[billyrb]

Towtruck, they look close to Maserati's....

Flint, you have 401 parts for me? :)

[Towtruck]

Good eye. They were actually built by the same coach works that was building bodies for Maserati at the time. They also look a lot like the Ferrari 400 series. But with an Opel chassis and drive train, they're cheap to maintain. And one of them has an LT1/700R4, so it not only looks like an exotic, it's got the performance of one. These are 3 of 67 cars left in the U.S. (originally about 200). All three are for sale as I want to get serious about hot rodding the Jeep and need the space....

It's dirty and doesn't look like much but it's got more than meets the eye. Biggest perks I'd say are the desk which I use way more than I thought I would when I put it in. It's great for crunching numbers and such when bending tube. Also, the computer I put together for about $100 and hooked into my company's broadband network so I can jump on here when I can't figure out what the hell I'm doing :) Oh, and the 15gb or so of music which plays through some surround speakers complete with subwoofer. In the middle there is a plate mounted in the floor which can accomodate a JD2 or Protools 105 bender. Last year I had a big gas heater mounted on the ceiling which is nice in the cold months.

[billyrb]

Andrew, how many times do I have to tell you......you can't mount that axle like it's shown in the second pic, no matter how much you want to see the side of the trail while driving!

Get to work in the gravel most of the time, concrete pad in front of the garage doesn't have any oil spots yet:) There were 12 deer in the yard when I took this pic, that's why we only have a small garden, REAL close to the house.
