The things we do for these cars

[Z51JEFF]

I've only got a one car garage and I keep my Z in the garage and a bike. I need to work on a few projects and figured it would be easier to just put the car in storage for awhike. I looked around and found a 10/18 spot secure indoor place so it's a done deal. I wanted to get my bike in there also so in the process of pulling the car into the spot,hit the wall and scratched the rear molding. Got kinda pi$$ed,I'll fix it,this is one of the projects on the list😁 So I get some paint mixed and I'm in the process of fixing my screwup. To get the right side quarter panel piece the inner wheel well panel needs to come out. For the right rear bumper the license plate,right backup light and both right side taillights need to come out. All this just to paint these 2 pieces of trim.

I feel for you Jeff. I certainly have been in similar situation.
The other side of coin is that you own a car that means soooo much to you. Imagine having to own and drive cars that dosen't bother you a bit even when someone creases a fender. To me, that's hell.

Done,at least fixing my screwup. Trying to paint anything is a hassle with a one car garage. I can't move this car for the time being but I'll do it if I can't find a painter that does quality work. Just materials alone to fix this scratch was about $200😳. I used to know a few painters that did quality work but they're either dead -they make respirators for a reason- or have moved. If you look close you can see the space I had to work in,on the left side towards the back. [IMG][/IMG]

Well maybe a) clearing out the garage, b) selling the VW or c) getting a bigger garage. But of course I am joking--I know what it is like to collect too many things and then just let them take over a space. You do very well with what little space you have! --Bob

I just bought the Bug about 3 weeks ago,I still haven't got plates for the Bug so I couldn't park it outside,the day I painted these parts,I got the registration/plates for the Bug😡 id love to have a bigger garage,to be able to get out there late at night to work on something,I used to be able to do some work on the car with the door down but it's got so much crap in there now it's not possible. But while I've got my Z in storage I'll be able to comfortably work on this Bug for what I have planned for it. Believe it or not I've had a car up on jack stands in that small garage.
