Keeping my Garage warm(and keeping out prying eyes!

Just thought I'd post my idea for keeping the garage warm.

I'm finding its the breezes around the gappy metal door that is a problem, so I sealed it with a £3 tarpaulin I had. Secured at the top and a couple of hooks down the side mean I can lift it out the way in a jiffy. Finnally got to use the 4 scales I bought from tesco to weigh the car...they are holding down the bottom edge!

Added bonus is that I can leave my light on with no worries of the local tea leaves looking through the gaps at what I have inside! Rescued attachment 101_0372.JPG

I thought the orange bit in the bottom right was the nose cone......it's very much like a flymo

I found the back end of the car makes for a handy workbench, I was fitting an 88cc kit to a fiddy motor, nice large valve head too... minibikes are a passion of mine

Original plan was for the whole lot to be orange, now I'm going to paint the back end black, the rear arces black and the rest orange. Rear panel won't fit my build (mistake by previous owner) but as long as it looks ok I aint fussy.

That flymo is the biggest flipping mower I ever saw, wife brought it home the other month. I think a ride on would take up a similar amount of room!!

getting the blade motor and ancilleries along with the wheels and fiddy engine back into storage tomorrow. Then I can crack on with overdue work.

In the warm.

yeah, I know Mark, Mr Stomp. Nice bloke, he gave me a go on there winning supermoto bike a few months ago, was LURVLY. Though I'm more into jap minibikes than the chinese ones. Good and cheap to start off on though.
