Yes 1984 300ZX  It's my sons project car as is the Blazer on the other side... and the 3 First Gen Dodge Cummins trucks out in my yard, LOL.. He's a young dreamer of having a million cars.. Got a lot of work to restore all of them. LOL.. He is actually selling the Z and I might be the buyer.. I kinda like that little car.. I like the older 240 thru 280 Z's better..but this is a nice one that we still have the original owners title... just under 100,000 miles on it too.. Biggest issue with the car is it sat a lot of years in florida. and the mice made it a very large hotel for quit a few years.. and because of that.. the interior is junk.. as is some of the wiring.. we've repaired most of the wiring and had it running.. Runs awesome..

Fun little cars. I had a 280Z and traded it for a 300Z when they came out. Both were very quick!

My primary shop is also in the the basement, a crawl space under our great room that we had dug out. About 200 Sq ft 16 x 13,  the basement under the main part of the house has my table saw, metal lathe, drill press drum sander and Dust collector. I just looked at the pictures that I have and they are really outdated. I will take some new ones later.

I see that several of us have other fun hobbies, like cars and bikes. I am getting real twitchy to get to work on my TVR.

My shop is a one car garage that nobody was going to use anyway.  And so, voila!!!  It is 12 x 25 x 10.  Kinda small I know but really serves me well.  It is heated and air conditioned.  I tried to be creative when when setting it up, using every little space.  Virtually every major tool is on wheels.  It's the only way to go in such a small area.  And yes... these photos were taken last week.  I've finally gotten into the habit of putting tools away after using them.  I also sweep the floor when it needs it.  I'm starting to see symptomsof OCD lately. 😁

I have GOT to get spike (bf) to look at and read this theard!!! lol  He just cleaned and organized my workshop! lol Why pray tell do you ask?  Because this is a quote....YOU never put anything away or clean this room. LOL he's given up on my craft room. lol When we brought this house about 5 years ago one of the selling points was a fairly good sized work room. I have enough room in it to have all my power tools in it out and up and ready to use!!!  I even have room to walk around in there and theres a wood cabinet that runs all across the short end wall I can put stuff in and on.  I'll see if spike can take a pic of it before my messy disorganized self winds up messing it up again. lol   Before that I lived in the back apartment of my moms duplex. There was a very long narrow room with shelves along half of one long wall where I had all my pattern mags and paper patterns as well all my paint, and tools and supplys. lol I had to move things around the shelfs to get what I wanted half the time and if that was't bad enough I I had like 3 big boxes in there full of plastic bags packing stuff and unfinished crafts and finished crafts. lol My wood was kept in a plastic garbage can, now that was fun trying to get out the wood I needed. lol I stashed some wood under our bed as well as broken down shipping boxes in our bed room. lol where the majority of my other craft supplys were in bags. lol now for painting I had a small desk behind our bed and rolling drawer thingy on wheels for small bottles of paint. lol The bigger things I painted on the kitchen table. But it seemed pretty big to me at the time because before that I lived in a little trayler with my kids and for awhile my tools were in moms basement about 3 miles from where I lived, that only lasted a few months before I decided this was not a good aragrement.  Which means I had my brother and father help me bring my scrolls and drill press to my trayler where I made room for them in the kitchen!!!! lol my hand held power tools were stashed under the kitchen table and in a small metal cabnet I put under the bar sepreating the kitchen and living room. It worked out pretty good there and there  was still room for 3 bar stools under there too. lol  that seemed like heaven at the time because before my ex left me he would have to haul my scroll saw upstairs and into the kitchen of the house we lived in at that time after I lost the basement. lol its true where  theres a will theres a way! lol i'll look and see if I can find any pictures of theses as it never really accured to me to take pics of my working aires. even though I have a good woodshop now I usuly do all my paitig and putting together of projects in the kitchen.lol  gezz I talk a lot.lol on posts anyway in person I hardly say a thing. lol
