cleaned out garage / car - hotlinked pics

Now that school is over, I spent this weekend cleaning out the garage and put up some pictures / posters of alot of nissan/infiniti cars. I'm tempted to get a dealership banner, they have tons on ebay. I don't know what else to "decorate" the garage with. I really want to do the floor... most likely go with some sort of rubber tile/mat to put over the concrete. I have considered doing epoxy, but my garage floor is pretty dirty. It's dry, but alot of stains. It's a 2 car garage, we usually keep my mom's van in there.

I'm thinking of going to Ikea and getting one of those strips of showroom lights or whatever they are... just for an added touch.


I also did a quick detail after 2 months. I just washed and put a layer of AIO on it. This is also the first clean shots of the car with my cefiro headlights on too.

Don't mind the many pics I am about to post now...

Yeah, you seem to be missing a FSB. Nice work on the garage. Mine is covered in spray paint. My buddy's spray painted things like "Honda" and "Civic" throughout my garage while I was gone for the summer.

This is where all the magic happens. All in a very small seperate from house one car garage. At the moment I have an engine, engine stand, cherry picker, two trannys and lots of axles laying in it. The car is being stored in a friends heated garage.

Yea too bad it's my parents, I can only dream of ever having a garage that nice haha. It's a 7-car garage with 4 doors and an enclosed room.. I'm just prayin they never move!

Broaner you're lucky you have a friend with a heated garage he would lent you. Most of my "friends" would never let a Jap car be seen at their houses. lmao

Wow Matt. What is that engine and tranny out of?

The garage that the car is in isn't a house garage. Its an underground heated garage at one of their old offices. They moved to a new office but the lease isn't up yet. We all keep the boats and cars there.

the engine and tranny in the pics are out of my 240 and the spare engine/tranny I bought for it. swapped the good engine into my car and the dead one is still laying right there.
behind that one there's a VG from a 3rd gen that blew a timing belt.
then all the cardboard is from BlehmCo's "shipping department"

as far as cleaning go, we have 4 full garbage cans around back with crap i pulled out of the garage. Every year, our neighborhood gets a bunch of garbage dump bins and loads them at the park.... people from all around come over to toss their crap. they didn't have one this year


i'm trying to get matt's site to work for me... i think there's something wrong with my connection.

My garage is basically like an old barn that someone put a door on. It was built in the 1920s and has a wooden floor.





Nadir, I had an 88 Celica convertible. I put on Integra GS-R rims on it and a decent stereo. I got lots of compliments on it, too. I drove it to about 260k miles before it threw a rod through the engine block. Damn, it was a good little car.

Wood floor garage? That has got to be tough to work with. I hate it when I'm on the creeper and it snags up on just a tiny little clump of dirt, an extension cord or and air hose. That has got to be terrible for that. Hey, at least you have a garage and a good sized one at that.
