Well it's winter time again. That can only mean two things.
1) Boring threads are posted like this one out of being bored and stuck in the house.
2) Your charger is packed away waiting for warmer weather.

Here's mine, post me a picture of your car please.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

My Uncle that passed away had the same car in the same color.  I was afraid to ask them when he passed if they wanted to sell it.  I heard later on they sold it for 300.00  :brickwall:

Not nearly as nice as your guys garages and the car is not NEARLY as nice either... There she sits, waiting for me to get home and work on her some more.  She will hopefully be moving into a warmer place, when I have time am in the same state, to start on the bodywork.

My garage/barn is cold but dry, it's naturally ventilated and together with my carpet on the
cementfloor I think it should be protected or? At least bare metal I have laying around doesn't rust.
Just a pitty it's to expensive to heat it up so you can work there unless it's very urgent like last year. :eek2:

Just curious, how much are you paying your buddy per month?  Been discussing a similar situation with a buddy but haven't talked $$$.  Just interested in what the going rate is.  Obviously location and other factors come into play but a range is all good.

Well, while my baby's off getting EFI installed, I figured I'd take advantage of the empty space.

What started as a tight 2 car garage "repaint" project ended up being an add-on of 20'X8' and turning it into a VERY comfortable 2 car or a tight 3 car garage.. I'm just finishing the painting and Epoxy floor treatment, then hopefully he comes home to rest for the rest of the winter.

Here I am, sitting for a few figuring out what my next step it. You can't see it here, but I dusted the walls with metal-flake... The Epoxy on the floor has it too.. The room looks like a diamond when the lights are on.. But it's not done yet, my buddy (Electrician) is coming over Tuesday to finish all of my lights and outlets.
And yep, it's right.. 40 degrees (Just had the over head door open for about 15 minutes bringing stuff out).


Upaded Pics Soon....

Mine is about 10.3" longer than yours. ;D Although I've got my Charger about 1/2" closer to the back wall than yours is, so I have all sorts of room at the front...ok, not really. :lol:
