More like a Tornado took it out. Thats awsome BruceTS. I thought mine was small and clutterd but after seeing all these pics im starting to think again. To the left of my truck is another stall full of my parents crap 
(hot tub sized shower/bath tub, boxes, boxes, boxes, bikes, and boxes) The big shop is my buddies dads cabnet shop(the perfect place to do some wiring and engine painting
)

Actually I moved it there getting ready to clean up, it's one of 2 snakes that belonged to my son.
Yes, there's one on the side of my house that is ready for pick up, filled it in less than an hour..........hehe I should have ordered a roll away........
Now I just need to wait for the car to be picked up and I'll be able to finish the rest, I have tons of books that I'm gonna give to goodwill since I don't plan on putting my library back in......
I now have the space to work on a few projects and can walk from end to end more easily. What I didn't take pictures of was the second floor of my garage where I store all my car parts. It has rows of shelving packed with boxes. Once the bottom section is cleared, I'll remove everything from up there and get rid of much of that.

I may have to post it up for sale soon, it has plenty of spare parts + hard to find rare vintage 510 parts. The engine is a napz 2.4L block with a L20b head, that I custom built running dual 45 side draft webers, 5-speed, front suspension came from a 300zx, struts shortend and threaded collars, BRE camber plates,etc....... too many things to list.........

Hey my shop was my front yard......I do everything on it, but I need some inside space, so I can weld when it's windy out or raining. I finally have just enough space to do some fabrication work. The place is still messy, but that will be taken care of once the car is gone.....

WOW Bruce, that was.....well.....shocking!
I don't have much more space than fillsrunner4 so I have to keep mine as clean as possible since it ain't fun to be fixing anything in the middle of winter up here on your back out in the driveway......even if you do have a creeper. The scurge of my garage is the 18 billion darn kids toys everywhere (electric cars, pedal tractors, sleds, bikes, scooters, wagons, you friggin name it......drives me absolutely nuts to the point I'm building a huge shed this summer to throw all that crap into if it isn't being used). I need to get the backyard grated level first before I build it so I can do a giant skating rink out back next winter (they're too much fun!!!)

Car is finally gone, now I'm in the slow process of cleaning up the place. It's nice to be able to walk around inside. Once I get the place in order, I'll take an updated picture.

While living in Phoenix for a short 6 months, I changed a head gasket on my '86 4Runner in my apartment complex parking spot. Since it was my 1st time, It took me a straight 30 hours, but I got it all done. It got a little chilly at 1:30 in the morning, but overall it wasn't too bad.
Don't quite recall what I did with the old fluids.......
