Default LS400 in its new home

We bought a house a few weeks ago and I am now getting around to cleaning the garage and making it into something a little more automotive friendly.

I'm by no means close to being done, but at least the GTO and LS400 now have a comfortable place to live.

Went from this...


To this...


I still need to add some rubber flooring, clear out the front of the garage and build my working area. Likewise I'll need some storage and some paint touch up.

And yes, those are real concrete parking blocks, they were in the house when we bought it and I can't seem to move them by myself.

Best,

wow.. Im not gonna lie.. Im kinda jealous of your garage!! The GTO is lookin nice too, it was a huge improvement when they added the scoops and made it a dual chrome tip exhaust instead of the old "Cavilserish" exhaust!

Why rubber tiles instead of epoxy paint?

Thanks. Yeah, the GTO was in storage for about three months. It was very nice being able to drive it again.

I went with rubber tile because of the condition of the floor.

The original owners slapped some nasty brown paint on the floor and over time the concrete was cracking. There were some major gouges missing from the floor.

I honestly didn't think that I could recondition the concrete enough to get an epoxy to adhere smoothly and correctly.

The rubber was the next best alternative to a full floating composite (expensive) locking tile system.
