I only have a one car garage, just wide enough to open both car doors and not have them touch the walls. I've completely restored two 99's(in two years) in that small space, even spraying new paint too. I have more than enough tools to do just about everything I need to do(box pic below-four different Saab emblems on it), and heat with a torpedo heater(150k btu that heats up the garage in 5 minutes or less). Sandblasting cabinet for small parts and big stuff is blasted in the backyard in the grass. Some painting is also done out back if I don't want overspray on a freshly painted car and hung on the clotheline to dry. Air is supplied from a Ingersol-Rand 7.5 hp 60 gallon tank with 3 filters of differrent types right before the hose. Stereo with two large home-made speakers...lighting> two 8 foot double bulb fluorescents and three 4 footers. I used to work under just 4-100 watt bulbs and surprisingly didn't realize how dark it was till the new lighting was wired two years ago. No posters on the walls because they are finished in a textured concrete and don't like tape too well....besides, all the Saab posters I have are framed and hanging in my bedroom.
Click the link and read my post from a few months ago which explains the rest of my madness. I don't think it mentions the few thousand BB posts I've made the last three years though.
