When I picked it up, she was quite dusty from sitting in a poll barn all winter...

I can't wait to spend a day doing a full detail to get my car looking right again.

I spent the day on Saturday cleaning and organizing my garage. I bought a handful of inexpensive metal hooks and tossed up some plywood to use as a mounting location. Ultimately, I'll be insulating and sheet rocking the garage and painting it all semi-gloss white. The 2 tall white cabinets in front of my car will eventually be next to each other with a workbench to the left of them. There is currently a workbench in there, but I really don't like it much. I'll also be building a shed off the back of the garage to store my lawn and garden equipment, along with my air compressor to keep the noise down.

Oh, and I installed my new garage tiles my wife gave me for my birthday I love the way they look, and I had enough to cover about 1/2 of the garage

I think I'll start a garage progress thread once I buy the insulation and sheet rock.... that probably won't happen for a while though.

I looked at mine after getting home from the rec center. Decided I'd rather sleep.

looking good - what kind of wheels are those - looks like Ford GT wheels....

I have an unfinished garage like yours. It's been 6 years now of "one of these days I'll insulate, rock and paint it. However, I now have so much crap hangind on the ceiling trusses, wall studs, etc...I'd have no where to put all my accumulated junk and wouldn't want to make a nice fresh interior look cluttered (:

I also built it planning to only put a Mustang and related stuff in there. That plan didn't last a month after the build. Now it's full of holiday decoration storage, kids clothing/toys, loads of bicycles, audio gear, etc.... It's sad, really. Now I have to build a shed to store some of my junk, but that won't happen either.

Oh, the joys.
