RE: Advice Needed

hahaha....... Oh dear that's really bad icing on the cake there.

as for combatting it. I would suggest heater ALOT of heaters. use oil based one eletric under thoes conditions would risk shorting out. but OIL heaters would work i suggets you put on on each side and attach BIG heatsinks(peices of ALU use a thermal epoxy to attach it to the radiator) to them and put them on each night that should keep most of the ice away and they also should not freeze.

RE: Advice Needed

It looks like you need to fix the roof and buy a space heater.

RE: Advice Needed


Think all you need to do is close the door and fix the roof, or did all that stuff blow under the garage door.

RE: Advice Needed

By the looks of your garage, your Cobra isn't even in there so I wouldn't worry about it.

Instead, what you should do, Gringo, is buy your friend that has that lovely blue Sumo some beers. Myteriously this will fix your problem in the garage!! {-} {-} {-}
