Patrick,
It isn't that I have stuff taking up space in my current garage, it's that
the garage is TINY. I have a workbench in there now, and not much room for
anything else ie: compressor, engine lift, nada. We live in an apartment
and we are making do with the garage we have there. It was suggested to me
that I rent a storage bay large enough to work on the car, sounds like a
good option as long as I can find one that allows me to do the work..
