Crap. I'm sure the hassle of moving is the last thing you need, but maybe it's good to start fresh.

You've got the right attitude. Not much you can do but roll with it. Good luck.

Look around industrial areas, a buddy of mine has one 'cause his ole lady "will not tolerate" oil stains or other fluid stains in her brand new home.
And he has a 3 car garage.

For 120/month he rents a space about 12 ft wide by about 30 feet deep.
It is a heated unit with power.

well i'm finally all set up at the new place , got my sons room set up and the computer put together, that's all i really need right...

had a nice talk with the landlord , who is gonna forclose on the house. (bad for her ,good for me) so since the garage is not boarded up, i can still use it (YEAH!!)
if any of you know about forclosure ,it takes awhile. so i should be good for a couple months on that at least

(finally some good news)

you should make that garage "look" boarded up and put a crapload of locks on it... those were the types of places we loved when we were kids.

keep in mind... the landlord isn't doing the foreclosure, the bank/loan holder is, so when it happens, it'll happen quick. if the bank doesn't know who's stuff is in their new garage it will disappear. just be ready to get your stuff out of there at moments notice because that's all you'll get, if any.

glad you've got some space.

i am a step ahead of you my friend , already boarded it up. and the land lord is a close family friend, so i'm in the loop
i basicly want to get all the messy stuff done before i move anything (bondo,paint,polishing,ect.)
since i'm gonna be shareing my workspace with a new GTO (i already bought him a car cover)

Spikeybike · « **Reply #98 on:** March 16, 2008, 09:06:07 PM »

so this whole time i've been trying to think of how to top what i already had done , i was tearing the bike down again , i had to 1 up what was already there

so here it is, any other F owner will know that its hard to find the right pod because the frame rails are in the way ..........well

a major frame mod like this took some hard planning , it's VERY reinforced ,the plates 3/8" on the visible side (pic) and reinforced again behind it with 1/4" round bar , lots and lots of extra weld metal

i think its pretty crazy ,but that was the point

troppo · « **Reply #99 on:** March 16, 2008, 11:54:14 PM »

Now that really IS a serious frame mod spikey, looks like you`ve done some pretty decent fab work on it..
you do some great work mate cant wait to see the finished pheonix
cheers
