This thread will function as a chronicle for any and all progress of the Fit Garage and more importantly: the cars associated with it.
For more photos and projects:
It has been a few years since I've regularly posted on S/W, no better time than now. The last build thread was devoted to my e12, I'd link to the thread but all the pictures are dead because I thought imageshack was a good choice. Genius. After being somewhat dis-involved with automotives as a hobby, I was offered a chance to own the Garage I'd been hanging out at for the past 5 years. Basically a dream.
Here we go:
In 2010, my good friend Sean started Fit Garage as a Wheel, Tire and Suspension shop with a heavy focus toward the fitment crowd (hence the name). Wheel refinishing, Air-Ride distributing and installation, and tire sales were the primary focus. Over the years it evolved into an all-purpose tire and mechanic shop, but the roots are still there grasping toward auto enthusiasts and the wheel/tire fitment culture as opposed to your Aunt Rachel getting some Mastercrafts for her minivan. Even if that pays the bills.
After consulting with my longtime friend(and often the voice behind all poor choices) Zane, we went in together and bought the Fit Garage. After a few months transitioning, quitting previous employment, and a handling of funds, a major revamp was in order!
Narratives are boring, here are pictures:
The state of the garage was a bit neglected. (sorry Sean) First things first, the lobby.
Before:
We tore out the floor and installed some hardwood.
Finished. Complete with shop dog Finn, a desk I built, and of course, some of Andrew's Art!
Here are some more updated pictures of the lobby:
Next the bathroom
Next, a few years worth of tires had collected. Our friend Evan at Item-B came to help clear them. He brought his pile with him
This is about 10% of the total tires we had to remove from behind the shop. Here, Sean proudly looms over myself and friend/Fit Garage-snapchat-aficionado: Troy.
We also spent a great amount of time turning the piles of trash into the garage. Into a clean working space. Before:
After:
Actually kind of a mess because we're deep into a ton of projects.
We removed the old workbench and built a new one.
Since then, I haven't taken many pictures of the garage itself. But throughout the thread you'll be able to see what it looks like, and I'll update with more.
Here are some of my favorite cars and projects we've had the pleasure of working on over the summer, listing what was done:
Air-Ride, Wheels + Tires
Air-Ride, Wheels + Tires
E-Level Management
Air-Ride, Paint, All Modifications, Restoration, Wheels+Tires
Drop Kit
Misc work, Tires
Wheels + Tires, Sport Springs
