My garage is built off my shed in the back yard. Its an enclosed temporary one till I have the money to build a real one. Its about 9 x 20 , just enough room to park the park out of the weather. can do a couple things but when the weather is lousy like it has been since Thanksgiving, I have had no motivation to do anything except walk out there, open the door, stare at it for a minute, then close the door and go back in the house.

Happy Holidays to you too!

Im so close to being done I can taste it...best part was having to do a heli coil on the underside of the differential for the strud rod bracket...that was a good time!

I may take you up on that offer when it comes time to do a quickie alignment...I noticed in some searches that you made some sort of home made rig for that.

Aside from that looks like were in for some more snow tomorrow!

Winters are when I get the big stuff done. There's no track events for about five months and I can tear into the big stuff on the car. In the summer I can't have the car apart very long or I miss out on track time.
I'm gathering parts now so when it gets back in the 90's then I'll start rebuilding the suspension. But for now, I'll just keep on cruisin'
