Description
A generic garage display made to fit 3 cars.
The cars I used in the photos are:
- Nissan S14 Vertex (Tarmac Works/Global64)
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 (Johnny Lightning)
- Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Nismo (Mini GT)
This display is design as a standalone garage with the interiors but I notice it is somewhat linkable with the previous garage release (See last few pics). There is a gap between both garage when placed side by side. When I figure out a way to secure both together and close the gap, I'll update this model.
If you wish to have a display base tweaked to fit to a different car from a different brand, please send me these dimension for the display base holes: https://imgur.com/5T6mb2L

Assembly
Flat Base and Base
The car is tied by wires through the hole in the flat base
Flat base should fit nicely into the base, the tflat base should be glued or tape to the base. As for the alignment of the flat base to the base, see screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/edt1UId.png
Garage walls
Front wall will slide into the side wall gap and the back wall connected to the side wall with 3 round tabs. Back and side wall patch is just extras to split the wall into 2 colours.
Front wall design is glue or tape on to the front of the garage after the wall is built.
Door
Door guide will fit nicely into the square hole as indicated below.
Garage door will slide nicely in the guide, door lock is optional and it is glued or tape into the gap at the top of the front wall, see screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/X9XjnJP.png
Car lifts
Car lifts is built with 4 pillars, 2 variant of pillar available. Dove tail variant has a top cap that is secured using dove tail shape while the other is just a square hole.
Pillar cap is also used as pillar base for both variant of the pillar.
Lift base will slide nicely into through the pillar and it is held in position with the pin. Holes on the base is meant to secure the car placing on top of the base.
Extras
The wheels seen on the tyre racks in my photos are leftover/broken wheels I have from rim swapping cars.
Large garage box is meant to fit into the right corner of the display. Small garage box will fit better with 2 lifts flat base but it is untested.
If you are unsure on how to assemble them, please send me a message or leave a comment.
