hoarders rule but.......

[thatotherguy]

Hi all because i have a few different cars i also have a lot of spare parts and i need some ideas on how to store it all.I have doors,guards ,bonnets,bootlids,motors,diffs,chassis etc, the smaller parts are easy to store but the larger and heavier parts are harder so if anyone has some clever ideas on how to store things please give me some ideas . My shed is 30x25x9ft high cheers

Make your walls your floor

Theyre called 'hanging panels' for a reason

How high is the roof peak?

[thatotherguy]

i think 22 degrees i am thinking of putting in a part mezzanine floor, its the motors that are the problem, i have about 7 253/308s.and they dont all fit under my bench

Pallet racking with beams across between them. Gives you heavy duty shelves and a mezzanine.

thanks, i also thought about getting a hoist so i could put the cars on top of each other instead of beside each other but that makes them harder to get out and i dont think my garage is high enough

hi, number 1 hoarder here! buy some 6 mm builders rod and make heaps of 'S' hooks and hang bits and pieces from your roof trusses.

use inner guards from HQ-WB to cover your dead V8 motors

The guards fit inside each other quite neatly if you remove the inners and the bonnet hinges, stand em on end and (if keeping in pairs) invert every second one, otherwise driverside with driverside and an inverted stack of passenger side - you can get these to take up surprisingly little space. The doors, standing on end take up more room, but still fit within each others curve if you stack offsetting each one to take best advatage of the the smaller space taken up by the window frames.

If you get your angles right you can get a leaning stack of three or four doors each side of a leaning stack of several guards, or nosecones so that the window frames of the doors (pointing inwards) form an arc shaped barrier to protect the guards from being lightly bumped into by anything passing by, without the doors actually leaning on the guards/nosecones, its quite a solid stack if undisturbed. That should give you at least four guards and eight doors in about 1.5 m3.
Two of those, side by side? Stack the inners on top?
