So gofastrxy and I are working on his car, and we needed a garage to keep all of the rain out.

I had a portable tarp building lying around, so we decided to put that up, and then hold it together against the wind with... string, rope, and bungee cords.

It has full power from the house, including 6 work lights, and also a lantern and a few flashlights.

Took us a bit to build up, but she should be strong enough hopefully to hold up and allow us to work on the cars dry.





And here is what she looks like at night, this was before we installed a couple more of the lights however.

 

that looks like luxury to me man hahaha

 

Epic creativeness.....I am getting the cold shoulder cause i kicked BOTH of my wife's cars outta the garage to set the FD's motor in their spot! LOL.....I have a feeling I am going to have to build something like yours.

have you thought about getting a couple tarps to drop down like doors so it isn't a wind tunnel?

 

Theres nothing better than a dry place with lights to work at

 

That looks like it is gonna be one cold working space. Where are the heaters?

 

hahaha, well just tell her the FD motor is worth more than both of her cars combined.

And no, I don't think putting more tarps would be a good idea, because then it would just be a solid wall for the wind, easier for it to get knocked down, rather than at least this way the wind can blow through... only making us cold rather than getting knocked unconscious by flying bars of metal. lol


Amen Joe! It's going to be much better working on it out there.


Are you kidding? Real men don't need heaters! ...yes they do actually.

But it's not bad once you're under there and the lights have been on and had a chance to warm up, just wear a jacket and gloves, and you're perfectly 100% fine.

 

looks good to me. you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

Makes sense. I was just thinking of one we used to have back in Georgia. We'd drop the end tarps when it was raining and such...

Yeah i think big heaters will be in order with La Nina coming!

 

I need one of those...

 

i love it, its a hell of alot better than getting drenched and misserable. which is exactly what was going on while we were out there and decided to put that thing together. now we just got to figure out how to get the blue shell in there and the white one out .....any one want the white one ten bucks, just make it go away lol

 

Message Derekcat here on the forums, he wants that rocker panel possibly. He may take the whole shell for $10. :p

 

lol... I need to see the rocker panel in the daylight.. Needs to be in good condition though.. No sense in cutting/welding a semi broken one in place of a really broken one ^_^'

But what I really need off of a shell are the manual transmission mounts off of the body..
I'm starting to suspect that I've killed a[nother!] driveshaft and I don't really want to replace it with my flexy angle iron mounts :/

 

come cut em off, any one else want some thing, free if you cut it off

 

come back to this thought in a month or two, you will be changing your mind ahhaha...



actually scratch that, i dont think it gets as cold down there as it does here

 

Man, you're hardcore bro. I won't even work in my garage if it's cold out. Or, I *will* but I rrreaally don't like to. Speaking of which....

 

haha I'm wimping out right now in finishing my red daily driver... I need to swap the rear subframe and hubs, and... It's two inches of snow outside.

Totally not doing it. lol

 

I want snow!

Yea.. we really need to finish yours up..

In the meantime you should fire up that GXL and play in the snow! ^_-
