Thanks Volksfahrer.......It has been a blast building it. Now I have a dry and secure place to work on my cars. Nothing like having your own set up. _________________ " Southern Comfort Vintage Volks "

Most garages over here in The Netherlands are about 18 foot long and 10 foot wide but I'm lucky to have a decent size garage under my house!
After my bus was done I felt it was time to remodel the garage.

Nice job! I like how you turned the old headlight into a lamp.
I wish I didn't have to store so much crap in my garage. _________________ Mike B. |

here's the workshop area in my place taking shape slowly. Just added the lights on the walls. Next step a workbench and a 2 post lift.

That lift looks kind of sketchy. How stable is it? |

The lift is pretty stable, it's rated for 2 tons; that's a lot of room for a bus. It's basically built around a giant hydraulic piston and a super strong and heavy metal foot at the bottom. You just gotta be careful to balance the bus properly and, if I do remove like the engine or gearbox, I have a pair of giant axle stands to stabilize the car.. But yeah I still want a 2 post! _________________ Also, vanagons! |

That lift looks kewl! Who makes it? Does it work well? _________________ It all works on paper.

Thanks. It is great for a VW since your do not need to work on the middle of the car. No transmission or exhaust like a normal front engine/rwd car.
It is made by Atlas. This is where I got it from.

So jealous of most of your garages.
Heres mine:
Not much space to work in with a westy in there.

I'm a little embarrassed about my vw laboratory. |
Here is my new laboratory, I moved from a rental with a big shop to a place with a 2 car garage. I thinks it was good for me in a way, It's forcing me to stay organized. I don't ever want to go back to the first picture! I'm also a homeowner now.
