More Lugs

Because my CR Kais weren't doing me much good sitting in my garage.

Got a great deal on this from JEI. Highly recommended.








Locked my keys in the spare S14 on Sunday, and then managed to get into it with a wire hanger. I felt like such a champion.

Garage Life

My garage was a hellhole until very recently. Tools all over the floor, household stuff, old cardboard boxes, etc.

I got a burr up my ass this past weekend to do something about it. I've only just started (just organized, cleaned, and got some racks), so I won't be posting up mine until it's a little farther along, but I thought I'd toss up some shots of my favorite garages.

First and foremost is Mark Arcenal's garage, of Fatlace fame. I'm trying to avoid making my garage a carbon copy of his, but I will be hanging my banners the same way.




Next is "Jack Olsen" (member name) from the Garage Journal boards. I like his quirky color
combination and the general minimalism of the whole thing. I wish I could do something like that Ivy, but my HOA would throw a fit.




Last is another Garage Journal member who goes by "OL55". This is not the look I'm going for, as it wouldn't fit with what I have parked in there, but it looks sick nonetheless. He must have other, brighter lights in there that he uses sometimes though, as I don't know how you can wrench with just Christmas lights.

Fun with Ovens

I headed up to a friend's place in PA this past weekend to get some powdercoating done for the Ruckus. Just a bar and stem, as I was too lazy to pull the wheels off. I'll do them the next time when I also do the wheels on the Roadster.

Here's Pete sandblasting:




Here are the parts, freshly powdercoated, curing in his new oven. We both think I can probably stack 2 15x8 wheels in here at a time.




Here is Pete's awesome and very VW-centric garage. These are two of his SIX cars. The MkII Jetta on the left is obnoxiously clean.
