A lift is in the future, but not in the budget for now. I did think about it though since I was pouring the floor, but decided I wouldn't want to permanently install one. I tend to change things around and would probably regret anywhere I decided to put it.

Besides I still have a lot to do just to get the shop finished, once it's done then I'll start thinking about lifts.

When you get around to buying a Lift - Buy American. I have a Rotary 4 Post & love it. I have mine bolted into the floor, but they have a Caster kit so you can roll & move it.

That is so cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

My dream is to rennovate a barn for a shop (and recording studio) someday (a wood barn).

I have all of my junk in a rented prefab concrete slab warehouse. It works well, but it is totally soul-less.

Again, so so so cool. Congrats!

Vedy nice Jeff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Are you installing an overhead metal beam for hoist and rigging?

Seriously beautiful space - only gear heads, grease monkeys and rabid Porsche fans can truly appreciate the passion that goes into this work.

BillH1963 is thinking of expanding his storage out West- maybe you could rent him a space? He's starting his British collection though, so double up on cardboard and kitty litter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

You should of thrown down some pex pipe before the concrete pour. Radiant heat is awfully nice in the winter.

Thanks for posting your progress. I have a concrete slab to work on but its exposed so I am dependant on good weather to work on the car.

Nice to have a large covered area with power to work on the teeners. Good luck with your progress.

Thanks everyone, almost didn't post this, glad everyone is enjoying it.

Don't have plans for a metal beam, no hoisting with a 914 just jacking and jackstands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) But its always something that could be added (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Should be a fun project finishing the inside, I've almost got it pictured in my head.

Already got heat handled, bought this shop heater last year, put it in my garage for now....nice and toasty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Oh, Bill if you buy a 914 out here and need temporary storage...I might have room.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

Jeff

That hanging unit should work nicely. Be very sure that this piece is indeed connected!

No worries, I'm a general contractor, it's connected, the piece on top is just an extra length of pipe I stuck on top as an extra heat shield, not really needed but I had it.

Here is my story. Restored my old 63 , in a 60 X 80 , very old pole barn, with dirt

floor, in 2000 ish, god you could have almost driven the 914 thru the gaps in the

sideing, started in Oct. finished in time for Hershey ,2001.

And I was 12 yrs. younger, with the help of 2 very good friends !!!!!

Sold that 914 to Bill H1963 a yr. ago June. Moved to the country, Yea Farmers !

I found a friend that owns storage facilites ,6 of them. So he ask me if I need room

to restore and build my 6. I of course said " YES ". he said i can have

2 ,( 10 X20 ,as in FREE , even will heat and install Elc. , I feel in and came out

smelling like a Rose. More to this, have to leave for my Daughters for Thanksgiving

Dinner. Wife says I am dead IF I don't come now. Mabe chapter 2 later.

Decided to take advantage of the extra bodies here today, and got some cars moved around. Pushed the yellow car down and put it in the shop, then pushed the black car in the garage, going to start removing the rotary engine tomorrow.

After I got the yellow car parked in the shop I started looking around.....I bet I could get six in there easy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Nice to finally have all my cars under a roof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Bill, Not a complete one YET !!!! I have a 3.0 engine and trans. And verious other

parts, looking for a v. good body. Start date Jan. 1 st. , but my health is like a yo

yo right now. If I can't do that, then box it up & ship it to Scotty or Brad M. for

them to complete. Or if health doesn't improve enought to just drive it to Hersey,

East Coast Cook out, M.S.U.R. and may be 3 others. I will sell it or set it on fire

or blow it up. I really don't think thats to unreasonable ! Just 6 times a yr.

Started working on the shop again, so far its just been storage for the yellow 914, the black 914, the boxster, and my tractor.

Attached Image

Then I added the red parts car, but i've cut so much of the rear off and taken half the suspension off, so today I made a 914 dolly out of some scrape wood and some scaffold wheels, so I could move it around.

Attached Image

Started getting the side of the building ready to pour the slab for phase II, was supposed to be poured on monday, and could cure while I was at WCR......But No (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) my EX- concrete contractor screwed me and couldn't get it done.
So Eric (erben914) and his friend (a concrete finisher), are coming over tomorrow to help me get it poured. Thanks Eric!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
So I'll miss WCR but my slab will get poured.

Attached Image

Sooooo, since I wasn't going to WCR and had the time worked out to be off, I went and bought the materials and started building the box beams to support the roof.

Attached Image
Attached Image


Going up!

And finally in, that really opens it up.

Pouring concrete tomorrow, then taking the white car and heading to Capitola on Sunday to spend it with my Dad, then Monday he has a boat in Santa Cruz harbor, so its a little ocean fishing, then a drive back home.

Consider throwing down some pex pipe before the pour. Heated floors are very nice
