Default My mess and projects

I've been reminded that a lot of people have barely seen my car, or understand why it's taken a year just to clean the garage. Well, it's almost there. I bought a new house and had to organize the tools, build shelves, part out and remove a wrecked Z, and paint the floor. Since the Tib had to sit outside, it's taken some damage. The mirrors and spoiler's clearcoat have dissapeared. At least it stopped there. I found out a week ago that the front windsheild cracked due to the heat we've had lately. I have a cover for it, but I couldn't let it look like a "broken" car with the HOA.
With the Z now gone, I painted half the garage floor last week and need to move over the crap on the other side to finish that side. Maybe then I can move the Tib inside. Oh, and the weight bench is for sale, so that'll hopefully be gone too.
Anyways, I feel that I'm finally to a point that the garage doesn't look completely embarrasing:

Thanks guys.

The floor paint is a Rustoleum 2.5 garage kit from Lowes for about $150. I didn't see it last time I was there, but you can still get it in places like Ebay. The painting was the easiest part. The hard part is cleaning the surface. Luckily the house is new, so I don't have a ton of oil and dirt on the floor. If you do, be prepared to spend days of labor cleaning it up. The kit comes with an acidic powder to help you clean, but I used other floor cleaners from Autozone.

thanks dude. i'll check out the local Home Depot to see if i can find it. the cleaning in my garage shouldnt be that bad, the floor is painted know and none of my cars leak so theres no oil stains plus i have a pressure washer so that shouldnt be too m uch of a task. THANKS
