Who's got the cleanest SVX garage??
So my wife and my neighbors always give me a hard time about how clean my garage (which of course houses my SVX!) is. I will post pics later, but I would like to feel like that I'm not the only freak in this world who keeps his/ her garage in an orderly fashion! So what does you garage look like? Pics are great for this thread!...
Or in this case how dirty and disorganized is your garage? What upgrades have you done to make your SVX feel at home? |

Me...
Upgrades: 1. Painted floor with gray latex garage floor paint (I have to paint it every fall though, but it sure looks pretty! ) Quite functional! ..and easy to keep clean year round. 2. Insulated the garage door with foam board insulation 3. I added lots of cabinets to hide everything (if it doesn't fit in a cabinet or drawer it shouldn't be in the garage! ) 4. I like to hang everything! Shouldn't be on the floor or leaning against a wall! 5. I painted the walls white. 6. Remote controlled stereo/ CD player 7. Lots of ceiling shop lights! Future Modifications: 1. Add a heater and/ or A/C so I can work on the SVX year round (my other half will never fall for that one! ) 2. 13" t.v. w/ cable (working on this!) 3. Black and White Checkedboarded floor paint!! Yeah! like the ones you see on TNN on Saturday mornings! Way too cool! 4. I want to paint an old 50's Diner mural on one wall 5. Adding 2 outlets to every wall 6. Adding a keg tapped refrigerator 7. Another SVX! Last edited by JLittell; 07-09-2003 at 12:37 PM. |

I clean my garage once a year with a leaf blower.
Ron (OK, maybe once a year is stretching a truth a bit).

Here's my garage. I've since removed the shelves on the right wall for added room around the svx, and I've hung an svx indy pace car poster that's autographed my some indy car drivers, and a poster of the 2003 WRC impreza.

Garage not too clean
Sometimes it is clean, but not right now.
Mine is insulated, drywalled and painted white. Even the ceiling. I have dorm size beer 'fridge, a computer with internet access, 4 channel surround sound (speaker in each corner) phone, fire extinguisher, BIG first aid kit (did I tell you about the time I dropped a driveshaft on my head?!) overhead air and power reels, LOTS of electric on the back wall, not enough overhead lights, but some up by the workbench which features a built in parts washer. I took this from my locker. The rigs in the garage |

Well mine is defiantly not one of the cleanest. I got most of a 93 legacy in pieces all over the place, as well as an svx hood, muffler, and struts.

You should be carfull about storing things that could crush your SVX, or your head, above you.

She's all fixed now and good as new!
