rainy day jobs?
#1
Given the weather prospects for the week/end, and my lack of undercover workspace, suggestions for jobs to do on your car on rainy days?

or mtfu and get out there?

listen to music in the car whilst drinking tea and eating biscuits whilst watching people go past getting wet lol

seriously interior stuff like sorting out ice wiring etc or stuff you can build in the house/garage and fit to the car at a later date

I've been clearing the garden all week but I've just been rained off, can't burn the garden rubbish when the fire gets put out by the rain...

Another vote for MTFU.

Swapped pumps and fitted manifolds to an engine on a crane in the garden in the pissing rain. Changed an axle in the snow last year too and a gearbox in a thunderstorm.

S'only water...

i've removed an engine outside in the rain before, once you start and you're constantly doing things you don't realise how cold and wet you're getting

Tried a bit of mtfu, but it went biblical.

Discombobulated the T25 ive got sitting around to clock it and stripped a k14 manifold in relative dryness instead. Blowtorch kept me warm to boot.

Actually its not waterproof. your skin can absorb liquids through it such as rain water, diesel or methanol.

I decided to do something about this "working on the car in the rain" crap, one of my neighbours was throwing out a load of transparent corrugated fibreglass roofing sheets, about enough to make a 20 foot by 10 foot car port...

Anyone throwing out a load of timber? Wink

The size of the fire isn't the problem mate, it's the fact that all the cuttings and branches I was trying to burn were piss wet through. I chucked half a litre of petrol on it and it nearly blew my arm off lol

Speaking of mtfu'ing, just been out to fit quickshifts and gear linkages and lower the coilovers. And fit the plasma dials. And rip out the brake lines. Good effort by me today tbh, even did it all quietly as there's a funeral wake next door lmao

Thats not a problem in this case, as most people dont tend to work under a shower of diesel or methanol lol
