Not quite done - more cabinets and posters to hang, organization to do, but it's just about there. It was a deep, dark, unfinished pit when we started, but wonderful now. Credit goes to Flash's Garage Majal for inspiration on the Gladiator cabinets! The tire rack is custom, and a gift from my wife! The epoxy floor is terrific, and the walls are peachy.



The cabriolet is off in storage for the winter, but the Cayenne and coupe have a nice place to live!

Chris, really nice, I like the color choice vs the standard white-ish. Floor looks super, gotta try that some day.

Are the cabinets hanging on the brackets? Pretty cool. I have one of those strips for the weed wacker but I did not imagine that they could hold up the weight of a loaded cabinet. Bolted into the studs at that point?



Cool wheels on the coupe. Don't believe that I've seen those before.

Agreed, that floor looks amazing.



More photos! Garage door open cars out and standing in the drive way shots <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



From what I see it looks like you split the epoxy application in quarters to cover the area.

The floor is epoxy with two layers of sealer on it. Spills just pick up with a paper towel - very nice!



We're really happy with the wall color - had to do something different.



The cabinets are indeed hanging on the same brackets used for the rakes, shovels, etc. The brackets are attached to studs all the way along (simple installation), and the Gladiator cabinets from Sears come with hardware that's built to mount right onto the wall brackets. The cabinets can even slide along the wall!



Finally, the wheels are ROH (Australian), and I love them. Pretty light and I like the deep dish on them. As you can see in the photos, I have 4 sets of wheels/tires for that car, two sets of Cayenne wheels/tires, and four spare track tires waiting to be mounted. Out of all of them, the ROH wheels are my favorite.



Will try to post more photos when I can.

Chris,

Nice work, I like the tire rack.



Let me know when you are heading to D.C. we'll come down for dinner again.

I don't understand why you would have to seal the epoxy. Looks great.



I have ROH as well, but I have the Drift R's in 18. Very strong wheels.

Beautiful job! I really like the wall color too. Well done all around!



Do you have room left for a couch so you can sit for countless hours admiring your surroundings while waiting for summer to return? That's a wonderful area you live in.

I had promised more photos of the garage with the cars out of it, so here we go...



As you'll see, I added two of the Park Smart garage mats to trap the ice and stuff that falls off the bottom of the cars in the winter. I used the heavier gauge stuff. Very nice, and does the job.

Very nice Chris!

I really need to build a tire rack with as many wheels as I go threw each year.

Looks like NTB against that wall.

Nice job. Something about that unfinished wall looks artistic.

You never heard of them? Aren't they National? They used to be NTW (National Tire Warehouse) before they got heavy into batteries.
