H8RRA 0 Posted September 6, 2005 in the tradition of "what you...." threads, what you beat, what you done, what you etc....., i think a "what you got in your garage" thread is called for after hearing that "The Wire" has the hots for my compressor :!: :?: :wink: :lol: Apart from that, see how many vr's you can spot.....and theres a specialist tool hiding away in the corner as well...

chrishill 0 Posted September 6, 2005 and theres a specialist tool hiding away in the corner as well... thats not a nice way to talk about chris :lol: Technically i dont have a garage, just an oversized shed with 'bits' in, so my contributions will be mostly sarcastic.

rmn 0 Posted September 6, 2005 and theres a specialist tool hiding away in the corner as well... thats not a nice way to talk about chris :lol: Technically i dont have a garage, just an oversized shed with 'bits' in, so my contributions will be mostly sarcastic. i like it! in my garage, much like chris's (a big shed) i have a few bits and pieces, the latest of which are some group N VW motorsport cams and a wiechers cage. now i just gotta get stuck into the G60 and finish it off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H8RRA 0 Posted September 6, 2005 rmn - disqualified - picture evidence required. i've really PMSL at your interpretation of my "specialist tool" Chris - but i s'pose its not far from the truth but wasn't intended :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted September 6, 2005 Loads of hand tools, compressor and a few air tools, arc welder, far too many Mk1 Golf bits considering I sold mine eight and half years ago, a few Mk2 Golf bits including a complete GTI interior, I sold my Mk2 three years ago! My neighbour has a small machine shop including a milling machine and lathe which he machines custom stainless steel parts for his Harley. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GIXXERUK 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Supercharged, very nice and squeeky clean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H8RRA 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Far too tidy, supercharged - you obviously don't do enough in there!!! :) I've some more pics to upload of the mayhem of having x2 2.9's , a 3.1, a 5 speed box, a 6 speed box and various flywheels, oil and water on the floor and 3 weeks worth of news papers to soak up the crap - as well as me and chris :) Dink - how'dyou mean, lax - was this a secret lil mod you didn't know i was doing?? Wouldn't have bothered until i'd got some forged pistons and taken it out to 3.2/3.3 ish but after snapping the spark plug in the std engine, it seemed a shame to switch heads on an engine that was coming out anyway -so now the ABT Long Throw, lsd and 6 speed are all going in in one fell swoop - should be sorted for the weekend :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 7, 2005 umm... Can't actually take any photos of my garages 'cos I can't actually get in any of 'em... :| My single garage has J-DUB, a seperated G60 engine, a lupo dash (for my MKI), the interior for my MKII and a 3.5KW generator in it (don't ask, I'm not sure why either...) My back garden (which you access THROUGH the garage!) has my MKII golf in it which I can't get out until I get J-DUB shifted out of the garage, but she's got no front suspension at the moment (it's on the dining room floor - like you do... :oops: ) and then my Parent's double garage has my MKI in bits (lot and lots of bits!) in it with just enough room to fit their Leon in too... I REALLY need to sell of some of my car bits and cars and seek help soon... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted September 7, 2005 well if everyone else is counting the contents of their shed i will too! 2 full sets of alloys + tyres for the vr, one of the fox alloys is buckled and needs refurbing, but the other set, bk299's, are pukka and going on for the winter. various bits a bobs of corrado which are either spares, or new waiting to go on (more of the latter). an assortment of car shampoo's and cleaning products couple of spiders fiesta 15" steely with tyre (dont ask) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
