thanks guys.

to answer some questions.. the car is on 2x's to help distribute the weight.. there is a basement underneith that wooden floor! I did reinforce the floor underneith though, it's plenty strong.

the "garage queen" is an all metal widebody 98 GTI vr6 with an HPA turbo kit, full carbon fiber interior, audi tt avus grey, 44k miles.. it's purely a show car, lots of fun on the weekends though. currently building up a set of Recaro A8's for the car.

I'm moving to Seattle in a few weeks and leaving my house (and garage) behind, but I'll be shipping the GTI and driving out the Corrado. My next project once i'm out on the west coast is an e30 m3, then a 930.
