Default How c-cold has it been today

How cold has it been in your workshop today ?

-3 deg C in mine first thing this morning. It did reach a toasty zero before I came in this afternoon because I was blooming freezing.

Going to even colder tonight. I can't see a lot going on tomorrow.

-9 in the car on the way home from work this morning...(picture will be on flickr later tonight for proof!)
The plan was to get strait out and have the engine out of my sierra today but bed seemed like a far more sensible option...

Photo now uploaded!

Default Even colder today

Well it's -5 deg C in the workshop this morning.

Today i'll be mostly sitting by the fire & having a re-read of the Roadster book.

I did have a mad scary space heater once.

1 large bottle of propane used during a long weekend.

Now that's what I call scary !!

Not sure how long I can stick this today, had heater on for half an hour and all was well with the world...turn it off and temp just drops right off and plays havoc with resin not too mention old bones....

Here you go, it's a bit more expensive than most kit cars, Ultima & GT40 replicas exempt

It's very good mind, a major step up from doing locosts.

Regards
