This can go a lot of different ways. IF you attach at the top of the existing mast over the existing garage you only need 3 wires down to the new panel. In this case the ground rod will connect to the ground/neutral bar. However if you take power out of the existing garage panel then you need to take 4 wires to the new panel, 2 hots, 1 neutral(grounded conductor), and 1 ground(grounding conductor). In this case you will need to remove the bonding screw and strap that connects the neutral bar to the box, visible in picture 3. Now you will need to supply a separate ground bar that attaches to the back of the inside of the box. This is where the ground rod and ground wire from existing garage hook to. The existing neutral bar in the new panel is now the dedicated neutral so no grounds are to be hooked to it.
