The Garage (What did you work on today?)

[N Wilson]

Here's my garage. it's 30' X 60' with a 12' tall door on the end. No issues with height of the Scout, even if the off road package makes it sit higher than a standard garage door. This garage was a major selling point for me when I bought the house.

My current project is my daughter's 2013 BMW X3 turbo replacement. In hindsight, I wish I had taken it to a professional mechanic because this project is very difficult without a lift and other tools a shop would have that I don't. I disassembled it last Thanksgiving and got the new turbo installed in the early winter before it got really cold, but I gave up when winter really set in. There are so many parts that have to be removed and reinstalled in order to access the turbo/manifold assembly so now there is all the reassembly process to do. Just getting back into it recently and hoping to finish it up in the next couple weeks.

So glad I'm getting a full BEV Scout that will never need a turbo replacement.

Man those are tough projects sometimes. Especially when you have to come back after several months.

I had a Suzuki DRZ400E that I tore down after the crank wiped the entire engine out and split the case.

Ordered a big bore stroker kit and wide ratio trans gears, but it sat for about 5 years in my garage.

Tried piddling with it on days my depression didn’t keep me in bed, but I gave up a few weeks ago and took the entire thing to the dump. Haha

Built this in 23, 40x36 with a 14’ lean to, 10x12 doors, natural rough sawn board and batten hemlock. Bay 1 is my wife’s Mach-e, bay 2 my Ioniq5, bay 3 is for the tractor. Maybe a Terra in the middle bay someday. Should be able to fit a 30 foot camper across the back, hence the 12 foot doors.

Oh, man, I feel this. I’ve abandoned many projects over the years for the same reason.

That's beautiful! Nice work!
