The far left bay has a 13'6" ceiling for the 4 post lift which is coming this spring. It's heated and air conditioned with an unfinished loft (but could be quickly transformed should my wife ever kick me out of the house). For me, it's a great place to hang.

That is a very nice setup!

Holy crap! Nice garage. I can't help but notice - all red classic cars, silver Z4!?

Can't see the overhead radiant heat, work bench, rollaway box and hot/cold water in these pictures.

I think your Z has something stuck up its nostril....

Karacticus · 03-02-2012, 08:24 PM

Yup, definitely looks like a bat hanging in the cave...
But that diagonal brace in front of the radiator sure makes a solid place to put a GoPro using their seat post mount.

You get excellent engine noise out of it too...

Awesome response! You guys have some really nice caves. I can't wait to get started on mine. I'll snap some pictures of my garage Pre transformation!

Okay...what I can't figure out is why you don not have a Hell Rot Z4??

I would look great along side the others! (of course you'd need to add a lift or another wing... hahaha

Finally got some good weather and, most importantly, time to take some photos. Here is the house. I've been researching on http://garagejournal.com/ and have started the planning phase, but still much work to be done. I'm going to snap some photos while I work on it and probably do a Zcave thread if anyone is interested.
