Garage Woolery is NOT a business. We don’t sell any products or services, and aren’t looking to make any money. Garage Woolery really is just a single residential garage. It’s nothing special…that is until it becomes filled with the enthusiasm and joy of car fans who come together to share their hobby.
So why the Garage Woolery name? It’s just a way to attach a sort of branding to what we do…hosting an open garage and access to tools for people who don’t normally have access to a garage of their own. many people out there are car enthusiasts or Do-It-Yourselfers who don’t have a garage….they may live in an apartment, or dormatory, or don’t have tools or permission to do projects in their own spaces. Some people just need some help with their projects. We like to open up our garage to these folks to give them the same sort of access to tools and facilities that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to use.
In between events, the garage also houses a small collection of interesting and fun cars we’ve been fortunate enough to save up for/ blunder into at affordable prices over the years. The owner, Mr. Woolery, likes cars, tinkering with cars, driving cars, and taking long romantic walks on the beach…with cars.

Hello Garage Woolery,
First off, i must say thank you! From looking through your photo collections of your miscellaneous projects, i feel as if I have seen some of my very own ideas not only come to life, but be executed better than i had ever envisioned!
However, now on to the kinda-awkward-but-still-needed-second-paragraph-where-like-every-unknown-internet-individual-i-ask-a-question paragraph…….yea…
What is it you do for a living?
How is it that you are able to pursue such a hobby at an almost extreme level?
I too have an almost extreme desire to work around, and individualize many of todays automobiles, (namely the miata to start, but i have more renderings drawn then i care to admit) yet i seem to lack the needed funds to pursue said desires, at least after taking care of my priorities. Some of my older friends, (im 23) say that i need to change my prioirties around, but i refuse go in serious debt, or lack the ability to be able to pay my bills for a hobby. With the aforementioned lack of available funds, come a certain inner anger at my current financial situation. I feel as i may be doing ok for someone of my age, but i feel, without a shadow of a doubt, that there are better ways to go about life. And judging by some of the results i have seen from your gallery, it seems that you may have figured out such a way.
While this might quite possilby be the strangest message you have had in a while, i hope that this is the first of many conversations.
i hope that I have in no way offended, or made you uncomfortable.
And if nothing else, please keep up the fantastic work, as I, among others, will continue to enjoy the results!

I’m a regular guy who, by day, works as an IT manager. I don’t make a lot of money, but I do tend to prioritize what little money I do have towards the cars. These cars are the sum of years of saving money and lots of DIY labor. I remember being where you are now…barely enough money to cover the essentials, but I still saved some money towards the purchase of my cars and their mods. It took about 15 years to save up for the Atom, and the Pitcrew Roadster is the result of over 20 years of slow tinkering. You’ll get there, somehow, if it’s important enough to you. If I could give you three tips, it would be these:
-Always save money up for mods or a car….never let money burn a hole in your pocket for something right now. That’s what allows for the big purchases down the line.
-Always save/wait to buy the best. Otherwise you’re just throwing your money away for immediate gratification….and it won’t last. It’s better to save up for a year to get that ONE best part then buy a couple of crappy parts over time leaving you wishing you’d just been patient enough to wait for the best.
-Try to never sell a car. Think long and hard about which one you want…and stick with it through thick and thin. It’ll pay for itself over the long term. I bought my Miata new back in 1989 and slowly modified to excellence. It was my only car for over 17 years. That saved me a LOT of money over swapping cars periodically, allowing for more mods and better cars down the line.
Good advice!Great Cars grow on you and if your prudent you can enjoy them for many years.My Mazda (2000 Miata) Will be in the family 12 years this January.
I saw a green Miata on line with reshaped body panels front fenders single headlights. Very nice. Can I purchase these panels from you, if not where did you get them?
