Dagabond - I was waiting for someone to offer that as a solution...here's the prob, I am only a youngster and it isn't my house...so probably doing well just to have it garaged Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8578-tight-fit/page/2/#findComment-83691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get out fine, it just won't fit without the mirrors folded back due to poles.

davef Member 42 Member For: 21y 5m 21d Posted 19/01/04 12:19 AM Share Posted 19/01/04 12:19 AM The carpet idea isn't as stupid as it might sound. I used to use strip of carpet down the side of my garage. It certainly protected the mirrors.The real solution was to make sure the garage was wider at the next house.Also another tip for anyone with a garage that is too short. To make usre you stop when you should hang a tennis ball from the roof. As soon as it hits the screen - STOP.

sharkey Member 337 Member For: 21y 4m 9d Posted 19/01/04 04:53 AM Share Posted 19/01/04 04:53 AM I have a suspended slab carport with a 2m drop behind it. No way do I want anybody driving in too far so I just dyna-bolted a length of 4x4 to the floor to bump the front wheels up against.

You know you've jinxed yourself right.. better touch wood quickly, if you haven't already Anyways, My Garage is alright. 2500mm opening and when I park it I have maybe 1 metre infront and 30-40cm behind. Plus plenty of room to get out the driver side I us my brother boogy board as the wall padding to protect my door Being a bricklayer, we obviously lay bricks on houses with garages. The minimum is 2400 for an opening and I must say that it's be risky for the T. I also hate when we have to do 4800 garage opening.. Sometimes no room to play if you can't park correctly..
