Tools and Machines Garage Pit - Page 5

miracleman89 · 11-13-2008, 07:00 AM

I would definatly add a lip around the hole! Something that stood up above the ground by a couple of inches. It will save you from having to tell us that you came home after partying all night and drove it into the pit!

Luni · 11-13-2008, 02:48 PM

Id be so worried of accidentally driving a corner of my car off that damn thing when backing up or driving over it.

You dont look like yo have a whole lot of margin of error on that thing.

masagsxr · 11-13-2008, 03:08 PM

^+1

I say put at least a 2-3" lip along the edge

fvillota · 11-13-2008, 03:14 PM

wow came out good. becareful when driving your mr2 over that.

metheores · 11-13-2008, 03:21 PM

Wow, it came out really succesful. Home-made garage pit. Like the others say, add the lip but that came out really well.

fvillota · 11-13-2008, 06:26 PM

how you get in or out? lol do you jump in and out or did you build some stairs somewhere?

Hiighboost2 · 11-13-2008, 07:31 PM

Nice pit

Mr2crazybyong · 11-13-2008, 09:53 PM

thanks for the input guys, im just gonna install a mirror in front so that i could see my wheels when driving it in.. we'll see if i have trouble driving it in.. i still have to fab up a ladder to be bolted on the end. might tile the place to make it cleaner..

fvillota · 11-14-2008, 09:55 AM

nice! good luck dude!

miracleman89 · 11-14-2008, 10:31 AM

I would still do the rails!!! Like I said images don't look the same after a night on the town!!!

IaMtHeRuThLeSs1 · 06-20-2009, 09:43 PM

Dude that pit is so sick! I love it.

Glad to see someone take on a tough project and actually follow through with it.

Not gonna lie man, when I first saw this thread I didn't expect you to get very far into this project before filling it all in and giving up.

Good work.

+1000 on the lip idea.

Pilot · 10-20-2009, 09:12 AM

I don't need no stinkin lip around the pit...but then again...take a look at

THIS !

GrandpaGofast · 10-20-2009, 09:38 AM

This gets my vote for best thread on the board.
They said it couldn't be done. They said it SHOULDN'T
be done. It's DONE ! Good work !
So how much $ did you spend on it ?
(I woulda quit when I found the first skeleton)

digitalhav0c · 10-20-2009, 10:31 AM

Dude thats awesome, great work!!

como · 10-20-2009, 03:12 PM

Epic.
Whats the total cost? I wanted to build a pit at one point, but decided that a lift would be more, er, mobile. +1 for vote for best thread. There were bodies, a pit, and pure defiance of people on the board telling you not to do it (Respect for that one, some people are just party poopers)

PETC · 10-20-2009, 04:05 PM

Wow, I didn't see the remains pictures... in the States if you found something like that in your backyard you'd be up to your balls in archeologists and state officials telling you that your backyard is now property of the United States Government.

como · 10-20-2009, 05:29 PM

^^ it's true. You'd get your home taken away from you. Welcome to america, please grab your ankles!

tadamany · 02-24-2010, 01:13 PM

I think we all expected this thread to end in a horrible disaster? I laughed at the idea, I teared up half way through, I crapped my pants after seeing the skulls, and now I'm amazed that it turned out fantastic. Good work.
