I was in the garage from 12-5:30 and my god it was freezin!

Ive got a concrete prefab garage with an asbestos roof and i swear its colder in there than outside sometimes lol.

I got some work done, but not as much as i wanted to.

I would get so much more done in a decent garage

 

it was cold today i did the some rear bushes today i really think the cold made it 10x worse

 

Get a space heater. You wont regret it!

I had to work outside today though, we had a car in that was in bits waiting on parts.
With the doors closed and the heater on its warm enough for just a T-shirt

 

Yeah, i was working on a mates car today, was frigging frozen.

 

Ive got a huge 1 i use at work sometimes but i have to have the big door open for light, air, space.....

 

Not too bad at mine, even managed a brief tinker with my S2

 

I was ok till it got to 4.30 then the temp dropped and I lost all feeling in my fingers

 

i went out on my bike with a mte this morning about 10am,a nd fuck me it was cold up on the ridgeway, all exposed and the fooking windchill was a cunt!

we still managed 11 miles of off road, and i only fell off the once... well twice but the first time i didnt hit the deck lol

 

I was in the warm at work

Mind you i wish i was working on the car

Steve

 

I was out all weekend working on my van, this time of year I dont get a lot of sun facing my house so the van was froze all day was layered up to fuck tho.

 

Hard'en up princess's ... Fucking -16 last night at work and that aint even cold.

 

i was out in garage today. not too bad tho as i was welding

 

I was working on my car sat and sun. Sunday was defo the coldest day. Ehhh what it must be like to pay for everything to get done to your own car.

 

Glenn .. I remember that pic you posted of your garage .. Minty SAFF Covered in Snow ...

 

Not all its cracked up to be. I'd LOVE to be able to do little jobs and stuff myself. Would be really convienent and fulfilling and satisfying as well I reckon.... and you feel manly!

 

Although that would be true on a warm sunny sunday, or in a nicely lit warm garage with proper tools, in reality on a freeeeeezin cold day in dim light with halfrauds tools, its not that fun lmao.

Im not looking forward to going back in the garage tonight. Wont start on it till 6pm tonight. I got 1 job i need to do then its back in the warm.


And i like the cold weather lol.

 

I know how you feel done a bit of welding satarday and that was cold and then had to wash all the dust off because its out side.

 

i'm going to be removing my front bumper tomorrow um reckon thats gonna be cold cold cold!!

 

I didn't earlier this evening, i felt freezing instead.

Although i know what your saying as i love working on cars.

 

Well .. I was gonna pull my dash apart .. But its -17.3 at the moment .. Could go and do it in my mates garage I supose ..

 

Serviced the car Saturday morning and it was ~0°c. Could see the curtains twiching and the neighbours thinking I must be mental

 

iv been repairing cars all day its not cold if ur grafting i had doors open alday aswell

 

i took the engine out my old 200sx in the snow a few years ago, it wasnt snowing when i started, but there was a few inches by the time i had finished lol

i just wore a coat and some latex gloves to keep the wind off my hands lol

then neihbors there said i was mental, but no other fucker was going to do it for me lol

 

Learn....... its certainly not brain surgery, your not a complete idiot, so there is no reason why you cant do some things mate.

Mike

 

10 degrees on wednesday according to the weather forecast....wooohooo!

 

I think its due to his lack of time

Steve

 

If you like doing something, you will make time, as with anything mate.

 

Very true. have tried lots in the past actually. Rentons a fully qualified mechanic and very patient and a good teacher. Sadly even he gave up! I am just VERY cack handed, clumsy and can round off a nut just by looking at one!

Its very fustrating! I changed a tyre recently on a mountain bike and NO ONE could believe it! thats the level I am at!

 

-5 here this morning

Steve

 

-3.5 down here in bristol at 5am

 

Well i was out there from 5pm till 11pm last night and damn it was horribel.
Especially when 1 of the hose joiners failed and leaked 5l of fresh coolant into my garage floor, and me
I had to get under to see what was goin on, then had to take the joiner off and repair it, this mean antifreeze all on the carpeted floor, me, my jumper, hat....
That didnt put me in a good mood! Lol

I did get everything i wanted done tho :thumbs:
Cars almost back together ready for a test drive, just waitin of a few parts and a but to fix my air compressor so i can do a boost circuit test and im done !!!


Kind of worth it lol.

 

kind of makes me glad of my 25foot buy 20 foot garage with lights and a heater

 

Lol im the opposote.. Its 40+ degrees in my garage its too hot to work on the cars

 

Inside and outside of screen frozen on the car and the condensation that had dripped on to the dash had frozen too.....

 

I work in the engine room of a ship. +45 degrees on a good day. Now THATS a pain in the arse. The smallest job requires you to drink 2 or 3 ltrs of water to replace the sweat I'd swap and work in a cold garage any day

 

Its been in the garage for the past few years over winter.Apart from at the mo it will be out all winter cause my mam aint well and my mam n dad need there car which i normaly borrow to go to work in.Hopefully this weekend it will be back out of the garage.

 

Yeh it does feel good sometimes.Im a vehicle technicain by trade so i normaly do everything on my cars myself.I just wish i could spray cars.

 

What car have you got over in canada Ross?

 

Ian its no good taking pics of the ice.The poor cossie needs to be back on the road.

 

It was reasonable this afternoon with the sun beating down on the car bit still cold in the shade
