I have been cleaning, organizing and fixing up the garage for 5 weeks now.

Lets start with before pics.

This was after I cleaned it up enough to barely fit the M3 in months back.

I tore out the bench, cleaned and organized my shed so I could move a bunch of the car parts into there once they were organized. Next was a bunch of drywall patching and taping and repatching and sanding and...... Finally two coats of Killz was followed by 2 coats of paint, a little touch up and almost done. I know the gray is kinda ugly; it was $5 for a gallon off the culled rack.

As of right now there is nothing but cars on the lower part of the floor, and I hope to keep it that way.

I will probably build a little table to go next to the tool box, not sure yet. All told I spent $200-$250 on supplies, and am happy with the results.

Chuck explained to me that the silver car is for picking up chicks.

The red car was for winning chicks away from their boyfriends.
