when to move the rx out of the garage to find all the tyres flat except one so pushed it out and changed all the wheels over to the ones that hold air

then moved on to the engine removal

so now its out and i can move onto tidying the engine bay before i drop the other 12a in

once the engine was out i noticed that then i turn it over it only turns about 3/4 of the way be for it locks solid so when iv got some time i will open it up and have a look

Trouble is its now getting late in the season for spray jobs unless of cause you\'ve got proper heating facility but it\'s getting there.

i know i wish i had a proper garage with heating lights and eletric but alas all i have is a glorified carport with a door and 4 walls realy

I might have lights and power but it\'s still only a garage - an upmarket one cause it is carpeted but still only a basic garage.
I too have a carport so I push JAZ out mainly to do medium to larger work on her there. Would love a double or triple garage, convert into a workshop one end, a pit in middle, 4 poster ..... oh the dreams go on, shame the bak account doesn\'t.

Now that is cool.

my garage has got lights, heating and a pit but as we\'re out in the sticks, this is the time of year when the mice come in off the fields. Caught 12 of the things last week in there, after they chewed some sound deadening out of my project car. A couple of years ago, they chewed up a Recaro leather seat out of a Capri I was restoring.
I wouldn\'t mind them coming in for a warm if they didn\'t cause so much damage.
I reckon I could catch one on every trap each night at the moment, there seems to be loads of them.

Thats not a garage - its a blinking company! One of my bungalows is smaller than that garage.

Now some people might consider having your own critters as a benefit of living rural. We are semi-rural (living close to the banks of the river dee) and have our own visitors. Last year we had a visiting squirrel which built its drey behind the barge boards - ate part of the roof lining causing a leaking roof and damage to wall & ceiling. But hey, if we lived close to chester zoo we could have had an escaped elephant in there - no only jesting guys.
Seriously, being fortunate to live where we are, one can only do ones best and take the relevant precautions to minimise such invasions but if some do get through the defences - well s**t happens I suppose. Still not nice though.
