Attaboy. :tup:
Your cavalier does look nice - does it have the eco or twin cam - any boost??
that’s kind of what i thought it was
i’m a fellow cavy owner :hay:
Thanks. It has the Eco. No boost. I think I drove it 2 times last summer, 2 or 3 times the previous summer. Didn’t drive it once this summer. It just sits and wastes away. Easily the worst mistake I’ve ever made dumping $ into that POS. But, lesson learned the hard way :spank:
ORLY? Glad I’m not alone, lol. If you know anyone looking for one, I have one they can buy :lol:
I’m also planning on getting the front end to an old Jeep, cutting it down to make it look like it’s coming out of the wall and building a little bench where the hood pops up…possibly turn it into a parts washer. It will also be painted like the old military jeeps, similar to this:
When I say built into a wall, I mean something in this type of style…
That would be tight. Piano hinge it at the hood for use as a storage locker, and run a switch from a 12v battery to the headlights for extra illumination.
DAMN YOU PEOPLE and your posting house/garage threads. I had just become content with the fact that I would be in an apartment for a number of more years sigh
Man great job. That garage had no business being rebuilt but you made it look awesome.
more details on this photo plz

Looks good :tup:
looks like lots of work, but it also looks great, heated and insulated, good space to work on :snky: in the “off-season” :tup:
Looks great. i wish I could afford to do something like this with my current garage, although I would probably have to rebuild it in stages as it sits right on the property line.
What did it run you for tear down and rebuild?
Very nice build.
Thanks guys!
Mine is also right on the property line. I know guys who weren’t allowed to knock down and rebuild(like I wasn’t) due to codes, so instead they did one wall at a time leaving most of the structure in tact at any given time. This allowed them to do a “new” garage without a total demo.
I think I ended up paying roughly $3000 for the whole deal. Maybe a little bit less.
3k is a very good price. i have to do a complete ground up garage soon also…that gonna cost like 25k…lol dam it.
^$25k paying someone to do it? yeesh…my 24’x22’ was $15k in materials…which included a new pad…also has a huge loft, own sub panel and natural gas run to it.
I got this guy i know that gave me some price quote very decently priced and great portfolio
24’x35’ Garage with 11ft ceiling in one portion for a lift fully sided, 16ft door, framed and blueprinted, etc. = $18k with pad but no interior stuff like electrical, insulationand fully licensed/insured.
24’x24’ = $13k
22’x22’ = $12k
Everyone else quoted me 1.5x the amount he did. if anyones interested in a Group buy let me know lol. maybe we call all get a garage next year.
i will be getting the 24’x24’
I had a 20x24 and added another 20x24 to it w/concrete i think it cost me about 6,000. easy–nice job looks great. building a garage isnt tough, toughest part is the rafters and you can buy pre-made rafters now for pretty cheap. my hang up was i wanted it to be taller but the town wouldnt allow it, it had to match what was already there(heightwise) and then i sideed the whole thing to look like 1 building. i did have to get a varience for total sq ft and have the neighboors ok it. luckily i have awesome neighbors.
Nice job “remodeling” the barn. Always fun to exploit a glitch in the system. Some code gets in the way more than anything else.
wow way better man. good job on getting a double door instead of 2 singles.
nice looking work and thanks for some ideas…tire rack, cabinets, etc
I had my 20x24 built for $10,500, so they aren’t as expensive as people think. This was in 2002 so now maybe $12,000? IIRC it was AGB Garages who did the work. Easy to work with, even handled a last minute design change with ease.
