Getting better at the car Tetris thing

Didn't take me as long to do this as the past couple times. I really need to move the workbench and I should be able to just nose to tail them both.

The problem is the bench is 8 feet long and the spot against the block wall is only 7 feet. There's a metal brace in the way.

Your garage is a a 2 car garage + a work area. Current arrangement now compromises your workshop area unfortunately.
I'd just move the sedan out to the driveway or consider installing a 4-post lift.

Nice clean NA! Had a '91 Montego Blue once.

It always stinks to find out one's garage isn't high enough for a lift - AND:
- going up means the car is partially in the upstairs bedroom
- going down means being below the water table



love that GSR - even more if it was MT.

A 4 post is definitely on the wishlist. I am just a few inches shy of 10 feet so I can stack two short cars like the 8 and NA.

But unfortunately I need to prioritize a new roof over a lift.

Oh I've offered up many a prayer of thanks when I'm able to just pull in there when the weather is foul.
