  • That guy with the green garage

    My name is Jack Olsen. I've got a two-car garage I built out of other people's leftovers. And I've got a 41-year-old Porsche that I track pretty regularly and also drive on the street.

    If you've got nine minutes to spare, you can see a video about both of them.

    Here's the garage. It's only a two-car, but it's got a lot of space-saving ideas in it. I did all of the work myself, learning to tile, weld, set concrete and shop for used industrial cabinets along the way. Pretty much everything in it is repurposed, home-made or second-hand. The budget was only about $3,500.



    It's in the current issue of Hot Rod magazine:



    Here some other pictures:









    Benches fold down from the wall:







    It looks nice cleaned up, but it's a working garage:



    If you want to see a bench-by-bench tour of the place, it's got a website at:

    And since this is StanceWorks, here's the car. It's not as low as some. But it's not a show car at all.

          My buddy sent me a link to some site that had done a write up on your garage earlier this year. Might have been popular mechanics? Very nice car, kudos

                            Your car is TRULY, a work of art. I remember seeing your video a while back on another car enthusiast forum and my jaw literally dropped when I saw how well kept your Porsche was along with the garage! Tasteful to say the least
