WARMING THINGS UP

Old man winter has arrived and I am behind the 8-ball, but I was able to get the shop a little warmer yesterday. I managed to put insulation in the pockets of the garage door. Its amazing the difference that made. You can put your hand on the doors and not feel the outside weather. My little propane heater raised the temp in the garage by 12 degrees on the low setting. When I get done doing some additional weatherproofing, I'm going to put that thing on high and see what it will do. It cranks out 80,000 BTU on the high setting. I won't get the ceiling complete, so I know lots of that heat is setting up in the rafters, but it stayed a comfortable 55 degrees. I'm thinking if I can keep a nice 50-60 degrees in the shop, I'll be getting several things done this winter.

WORK SPACE ADDITION

What garage is complete without the "fridge?" Well, I have got mine now. It will continue to get decorated and more nostalgic as the years pass. Feel free to donate some beverages for the fridge. It could use some :)
I have been working on the Capri's brakes over the last several weeks. I'm converting over to manual brakes. I'm not sure if this is going to fix my braking issues, but its worth a try and it also helps lose 6 pounds with the removal of the power booster. I'll post more about that later.

RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB

It's amazing what you can accomplish with the right tools. I managed to get the drivers side spring and shock done in a few hours vs. the 3 days spent on the passenger side. A BIG thanks to Wes from work who let me borrow his spring compressor. Mine sucked. Its now in the trash!!! The engineers at Ford still suck, but thanks to having a better spring compressor life was easier and my hands don't look like ground meat. I will now get the brakes converted to a manual set-up and see if anything falls off :)
