Tiggie Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 My Wifes Dad had one in his shed, knocked out some right heat!! I'll definitely be making some kind of metal cover as I've felt how hot they get Not the best picture but this is what he did to stop shed from burning down Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 when the garage is totally empty Rich what would it be like getting a car in there and could you open the door to get out If the bikes, bench tools and other shite weren't in there I could get a car in and be able to get in and out no problem Quote

Ian Frog Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I think [mention]Stu[/mention] is going to have squatter issues if we get his address.Also [mention]oldgrump[/mention] seems to have enough projects to keep a few of us busy for ages. Did you clock all those engines under benches just waiting to be assessed then let loose?CheersIan Quote

oldgrump Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Hi [mention]Richzx6r[/mention] Sorry mate, all battery's spoken for!!! And [mention]Ian Frog[/mention] yep plenty of engines laying around down here!! And only project is the Bloody trike!!!!!Guy brought engine off mate!! built frame and trike around it!! After 6 years of building it, he came to start motor yep motor had blown up with bits of pistons in bottom end and a totally knackered cylinder head, but getting there!! And [mention]Richzx6r[/mention] This was my workshop and business for 10 years! now just a hobby!Mind you I do have a BMW R1100S in tomorrow Barrels have to come off! Just can't seem to say no to Friends And [mention]Stu[/mention] would love to have had a Wood burner for the Winters, but think a naked flame, with the amount of fuel and Substances in my Garage, there wouldn't be a garage any more!!!

Ian Frog Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 You should be able to see between the wall and the Busa is fresh paint.The plan is to wheel the Busa across and do the patch currently underneath asap. Hope its warm tomorrow and this stuff cures quick enough. Cheers Ian Quote
