rainy day jobs? - zx_volcane - 25-04-2012
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?
Re: rainy day jobs? - kingy - 25-04-2012
mtfu. with a cupper.

give the inside a good clean whilst sitting inside it!
Re: rainy day jobs? - devils_fuel - 25-04-2012
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

Make your dash all pretty, sticker bomb it or something lol
Re: rainy day jobs? - Kimmie - 25-04-2012
Do jobs in the house instead? Or clean out the car/clean the insides of the windows?

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...
Re: rainy day jobs? - Toms306 - 25-04-2012
Get a gazeebo? S'what I'm thinking of.....
Re: rainy day jobs? - cwspellowe - 25-04-2012
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...

MTFU hehe
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

^^ this, once your wet your not going to get any wetter are you, and skin is waterproof, you will be right
Re: rainy day jobs? - 4WayDiablo - 25-04-2012
i just destroyed my interior the other day whilst it was raining, didnt even fix anything lol
Re: rainy day jobs? - zx_volcane - 25-04-2012
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.
Re: rainy day jobs? - cully - 25-04-2012
sod getting wet in sitting inside licking the widows like Toms306 !
Re: rainy day jobs? - Scott - 25-04-2012
I lowered my torsion bar in the rain in the middle of a cold February a few years ago...that was a bad idea!
My current rainy day job is play xbox or work on the forum
Re: rainy day jobs? - 4WayDiablo - 25-04-2012
So if this weather is to go by we shall have rep by the end of the week!

Sticker bombing is great for rainy days!!!
Re: rainy day jobs? - THE_Liam - 25-04-2012
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?
Re: rainy day jobs? - Curt - 25-04-2012
I have this issues at the moment, think I'll just chuck it in the greenhouse

Bigger fire required

Re: rainy day jobs? - karl1989 - 25-04-2012
changed my turbo in the rain. water proof jacket jobs a good one. been in rain all day caked in mud but still had a laugh
Re: rainy day jobs? - THE_Liam - 25-04-2012
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
Re: rainy day jobs? - cwspellowe - 25-04-2012
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
Re: rainy day jobs? - Rippthrough - 25-04-2012
Soak the inch of water up that's appeared in the footwell.
Re: rainy day jobs? - Niall - 25-04-2012
I've just fitted a new head twice in the pissing rain. Did have a gazebo but it's rather leaky!
Re: rainy day jobs? - kingy - 25-04-2012
i sorted out my clocks in the dry te he. then got piss wet fitting my induction kit.

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