The birth of "Jay's Mod Garage"

[dmention7]

Okay, so it's not the birth of the garage itself, but the start of its usefulness as a real garage. Thanks to the help of Tom and Colin--both in the form of crazy ideas as well as manpower--I now have this kickass workbench, some useful lighting, and a rockin sound system. Sorry about the crappy pics... my camera sucks balls.



Thanks in part to a careless Home Depot cashier, the workbench rang in at well under $80 (free 2x4's FTW!). And this thing is sturdy as all hell--you could rebuild an engine on this badboy, no problem! Next in line: a pegboard backing, a plywood shelf for under the workbench, shelving for the audio equipment, a third row of fluorescent lighting, and some nice white lighting above the bench. Oh, and a tiled floor with a huge mazda logo pattered into it!

So yeah, huge props to Tom and Colin for all the help and good ideas! :score010:

So Jay, when are we doing the next installment on that garage?

 

[dmention7]

Good question. I'm almost thinking that the next installment is going to be wrapping that bench around the corner!

[JustROLLIN]

Nice setup man. I really miss having a nice garage area to turn a few wrenches.

And the best part is, you can't even see the giant dent Jay made in the wall to make the countertop flush on the right!

 

[dmention7]

Haha, Nanami noticed that! She gave me a ''look'' when I explained that it was the easiest way to make that edge flush with the wall.

Nice garage dude!

 

[Big Nate]

So you built a table instead of dyno day? not a good trade IMHO.







LOL

Bah, like I said before... creating a good place to install mods trumps the measurement of said mods. Especially when the car is practically stock. Besides, this was done on sunday not saturday
