Car Storage?
Car Storage?
I have a 1 car garage and will soon be getting a 2nd car that I will be restoring. How do I keep from looking like a trashy redneck with a 1/2 restored car in the driveway?
Car 1 is my 06' MCS
Car 2 is my 72 Beetle (type 1) in very rough multicolor shape
I live CT so the Mini gets the garage in the winter no questions asked. The bug may get the garage in the summer...
I have a largish driveway with parking area next to the garage entrance
Do I:
1) put a car cover on the bug in the driveway
2) Hide the bug behind the garage (theres' an old aluminum yard barn / shed back there that needs fixing up)
2a) put what will fit of the bug in the yard barn (~1/2 way in)
2b) replace or modify the shed with a carport type shelter or car tent

Any thoughts?

If the Bug fits sideways in the garage, they make wheels like casters that go under the tires you can turn it by yourself. They make it easy to move it around to work on it also. Northern Tool sells them along with other vendors.
2b, if you could afford it and maybe DIY it, you could quite possibly make it so that you'd have sufficient space to work, and then once restored, provide proper storage so that work doesn't go to waste. So it would be more of a long term investment.
Maybe the car tent is the way to go, my neighbor got one, doesn't look too bad. Of course being a redneck aint all bad, a rusty beer fridge on the front porch and the VW on concrete blocks in the front yard and a 1950 rusty house trailer alongside the garage, what a look!!
