Hey guys just took delivery of my new race shop yesterday!! It will make trying to build the Celica much easier, cause it's in my own back yard.

It has been working from my end, but it's straight off Facebook, so might be blocked just not sure!

Well the shop is slowly coming together, with all electrical complete and part of the insulation installed.
I rebuilt the entry ramp and reinforced it's mounting system, now to just finish the insulation, cover the floor, hang ceiling and wall boards. When finished, I'll have a great place to get serious about finishing the Celica. Speaking of the Celica, I finally got her back on the ground after installing all the rebuilt suspension pieces. I actually had to re-adjust the rear coil-overs, cause the car was sitting too low and was nearly on it's bump stops. I'll try to get pictures of both building and car this weekend and post them for you guys to check out. Wife just reminded me we already took some pics of the shop, so here they are.

Lift will come with phase 2 of my shop project. I'm going to add a 12'-14'X 28' side extension on the right of the building a bit later. This area will have a concrete floor and a portable 2 post lift designed for lower ceiling hieghts, 8' or so. You can check them out at http://www.dannmar.com and their called the Maxjax model.

Hey Guys, I know I've been kinda absent for a while, but I'm back and trying to catch up on things. It's been extremelly busy on my end of the world and I'm finally about ready to move in to the new race shop. I just injured my back so I'm outta commission at the time, but give me a little healing time and the Celica will rise again!!

Here are some pics of the shop, just gotta clean up and move on in........

Finally the Celica is home and being worked on again! Looking to pick up a 20 ton shop press this week so more of the parts can be swapped, things like the wheel bearings and longer wheel studs. :auto

Pics of Celica in it's new home and ready for some TLC....




First new mod, added a straight steering shaft with quick disconnect wheel, deleting the tilt and telescoping steering column.......

Added some new equipment this weekend to my shop, including this new 20 ton shop press, which I've already put to use.




I was able to break drown these rear hub assemblies including removing all the wheel studs, in preperation for new bearings and ARP wheel studs.



Also picked up this really nice bench grinder which I'm going to mount on wall brackets and change out one gringer stone for a wire brush attachment....

Got my new storage barn delivered on Friday afternoon and am now starting to move all the Celica related street/race parts into it! Most of these parts have been in a storage unit for over 4 years, maybe now the Celica racecar project can be kicked into high gear.

It's just for parts, big shop is for the car! LOL
