    No garage at all? bad luck, that must make everything worse! I'll be honest, woke up Sunday with my knees and wrists aching like funk. The gym was a real struggle!

    Horrible at the mo isnt it. When it started to snow, it was the first time i thought "really?! Now?!" normally i'd love it.
    Engine wise nothing i dont think. Sump could do with a reseal as it's still leaking from some where. Might fit a new starter too.

    I work indoors, but don't be fooled its colder in here than outside. Propane heater is a trade off between gassing myself and being warm.

    The plus side with indoors is you're covered from the elements,whilst it might be as cold/colder in some cases you can always warm up.True about gassing,my space heater is like that,can be carbon monoxidey
    I really miss my garage

    When you have a van bigger than your garage it means I spent time fixing it outside all the time

    I remember your old workshop, i can imagine it was freezing in there!
    I have a lil elec heater, which with the door closed just takes the edge off.

    Being out the rain makes everything easier. Plus you dont have to put everything away each time.

    Lil bit done.
    What to protect the car more, then welding and grinding. Saw the plastic sheets you see on Hotrod and bike building shows... They are alot of money.
    So a trip to the scummy Range got me... Yes a std shower "curtain" is the same width as a Nova.



    £2.99... Does the job.



    Doesn't stop the dust tho....

    Fiber glass sanded off, gave the holes next to it a gentle tap to recess then in so plates could be welded in. As one of them i can't get to the other side...



    Holes welded up.



    Started welding the small holes in the steering arm hole up.... As they are very untidy.



    Bit of sanding left me.... haha



    More after my holiday.
