The Goblin Garage Is Open. Come Show Off Your Build.

Written by Adam Doyle on Jul 1, 2026

Every Goblin has a story behind it. The donor it started as, the nights in the garage, the first drive. Most of that lives in camera rolls and hundred page long build threads. We wanted one place where each Goblin can show what it is and how it got there. That is the Goblin Garage, and it just went live.

We loaded in the basics for every V1: chassis numbers and kit configuration. The photos, the build details, and the story are the parts only you can add.

Note: V2 Goblins will be added soon.

Your Showcase Page

Each Goblin gets its own showcase page, broken into three parts where you can share photos and details about your kit, the donor, and the build process. Share how your Goblin looks today, how it all started with the donor, and what the build process looked like.

Claim your Goblin

For now the Garage is open to V1 kits only. If you own a V1, whether you built it or bought it, head to your garage, click claim, and type in your chassis number with no leading zeros. That is all it takes. If the email we have on file matches your forum account, it verifies right away. If it does not, it comes to us for a quick check so nobody can claim a car that is not theirs.

You can start editing the moment you claim it. Everything saves as you go, it just does not show publicly until the car is verified. Once your Goblin is claimed, verified, and has a photo on it, its showcase page goes live.

V2 owners, your cars are coming soon.

Why we built this

Ask most guys what pulled them toward a Goblin and the community comes up fast. People who figured this out in their own garages, then turned around and showed everyone else how. We wanted a place that puts all of that in one spot, so a guy on the fence about a build can flip through real cars other people finished and see exactly what he would be stepping into. Filling out yours hands the next builder the same head start somebody probably gave you.

Go claim yours today, add a few photos, and tell people how you built it.
