Your garage is huge, I see a few extras hanging around there....bowtie headrests and a pacecar trunk/spoiler.........


this was a sad day a couple winters ago and will be until I can store it or get a new place to keep it........

My garage is 26X36, I've had up to 5 cars in there but normally just have 2-3. I love having all the space, but I just bought the house 3 months ago, so I am sure it will start filling up fast. I have big plans for the garage though!

Good eye! I also have a new front bumper tucked away out of sight to replace mine. Come spring time, I am going to get them both painted and installed on the car. Can't wait to finally have a pace car spoiler after all these years, I have always envied those with them. Now if I could just find a high-sport kit I would be good to go....

I know how you feel though. I bought my Jeep as a daily driver/winter car in 2009, so I had to drive my Monte in the winter for the first few years I had it. I always felt bad taking it out in the elements.

And here we are, 5 months later, when sad days turn in to happy days

Got the car out this weekend and gave it a wash:



Also, got my new trunk lid with stand up spoiler back from getting painted! Cannot wait to get it on the car, I have been wanting to change spoilers from the surfboard since I bought the car back in 2006.

When I saw there was a new post in this thread, I thought you were going to say you sold it. Glad you didn't. And nice pics. The car is looking good.

Looks good and I like the black! I just got mine out of winter storage a few weeks ago so I know how it feels.

Looks good! Wish my Monte was out already (still rainy and crappy).
By the looks of that trunk lid in the first pic, it was off a 2000 pace car??

Mine is still storage - we've had horrible weather here with a lot of rain.
