Winter sux
I may need professional help. Someone asked me at the saturday morning GTG if the project actually had a goal beyond just working on the car.
The garage is just too freaking cold and if i turn on the propane heater it creates condensation in places we don't want. It'll be mid April before I can get back at it. In the meantime I bought a BMW 528 that also needs work, just not as much.

I know the feeling, and it gets worse the older I get but 65d today. I'm thinking there are some variations on Murphy's law at work here bc everything seems to break in the winter. For instance, I did a bunch of work on my plow truck last summer (brakes, exhaust, even some paint work), and then naturally, it fails its safety inspection last week for balljoints. arg. Bruce
PS my garage looks nice but it is unheatable.

Where do you live? (can't tell on my phone)
I'm in Chicago area and it was mid 40's, even took the bike to work. Usually after working on something for a few minutes I start to warm up.

Burning Brakes
haha agreed!
I was able to replace my rock guards, change oil, fix the battery box hole and clean up the brakes while my wheels were refinished before it got to cold..Still have to complete a wide band O2 install and install a new MBC but it has been over two months sence I have worked on her..
Startiing to have days above freezing so may get to play in the garage soon.
Still likely be at least a month before I get back on the road (due to snow and salt melting) and maybe a month and a half before the bike out

I've picked up my two boys at school every day this week in the S2 cab.
Top down, tee shirt weather. I LOVE Arizona this time of year!
