Is all the junk eating up all your garage space and your classic cars withering outside in the sun, rain and storm? Classic cars are prized possessions and are not meant to be sitting outside in piles of junk. Your car restoration garage needs to be organized and all things need to be put in their proper places. Read on to find out how you will do it.
THE STEPS:
Classify items that can be reused. Throw away the broken stuff and sell the stuff you’ll never need. If you want to make some profit, you can also go for a garage sale.
Rearrange the things you want to keep. Keep things of similar use together. For example, put pneumatic tools in one place, air compressors in another place, etc.
Buy some plastic containers. You will need them. You’ll need to cram all your camping gear, craft vendors into them. Buy some beans in which you can enclose expensive items that are both expensive and dangerous.
Redo the walls of your garage. Arrange some freestanding shelves or cabinets or stands that you can put some of your important auto restoration tools on. Store heavy items on the bottom shelves and light tools on the top shelves. If your garage is small, fix these shelves on all 3 walls of your garage.
Not just car restoration tools, there are other things that are essential in a garage. Some of these are brooms, rakes, shovels, folding chairs, and other items on your garage walls.
Attach some hooks to the ceiling of your garage. Hang the bikes on these hooks. Attach the hooks near the sides of the walls and place the bikes on them in such a way that they deliver your classic cars.
Design a low deck so your classic cars can slide down if space is tight. Don’t leave cars empty. You can fill them with some garage item to make the most of the space.
SOME ADVICES:
As you clean out your garage, empty it completely. Place all the garage equipment in the driveway. Clean garage equipment upside down and put it back in its place.
Do not accumulate unnecessary things that you know you will never need. This will result in unnecessary blocking of space.
Light up your garage well. You don’t want to work in a dingy place, do you?
Place a doormat near the doors of your classic cars. Wipe your feet on the doormat every time you get in and out of your cars. Place another doormat outside your garage doors. Clean your feet well before entering your homes.
Never run car engines or other engines inside the garage.
Keep flammable things in a safe disposal.
