Regardless, those are some cool rotors.
Who says they're rotors?

Here's my one and only hint... it's nothing I've EVER seen posted on these forums.

Wow, your sedan was really nice, but I guess it worked out better for you in the end. I'd love to be able to pay off my car right now, but I'm not having any luck selling it and I doubt the trade in value will put a smile on my face, nor the price of the car I want to buy.

Seriously, hurry up with the new mod pics, I can't wait to see.

The mod has been completed successfully. I think pics are going to have to wait until tomorrow when I can give the car a full detail.

Ouch, a bit **** about the pics are we? Just photoshop it clean. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait patiently until then.

It's a giant coffee filter for when you have guests over?

Since I don't expect that any of you (except Flip) knew what my garage looked like before, I guess that wasn't really fair. Anyway...I've begun modding my garage and started off with some cabinets. I came across the BBKlock and thought it would make a nice addition, so sorry for teasing you guys the last couple days. Here's what I've got so far...



- UltiMATE garage cabinets/workbench
- BBK Wall Clock
- Husky Air Compressor
- Husky Power Washer

Up next... flooring, lighting, paint...

Caliper clearance FYI.

Nope, a dime won't fit...


Nope, a thick business card won't fit...


YES, a thin business card will fit!

Thanks guys! I've got tools, floor jack, golf clubs, weed/insect killer, gas cans, sprinkler supplies, ladder, car wash supplies, pool maintenance supplies, etc inside the cabinets. There's tons of stuff we've been storing in the guest bedroom closets that can now be moved out to the garage. I figured these few cabinets would be enough, but might have to add a more as I fill these up.

I'm guessing the caliper clearance is ~1mm. Any more would be a waste of space!

Those are very nice...all the better from which to work on & ogle your sharp Coupe. Great job!

Looks as if you already have undercabinet lighting. Don’t know if you are going to do recessed ceiling lights, but if not, I have several fluorescent fixtures from a previous project. If you would like them, they are yours for the asking. One can never have too much light for a midnight thrash…lol! What type of floor treatment are you planning?
