In my garage - whenever I have the inspiration. Best rgs BeetleBug Title: Re: How often do you work on your car? Post by: Lids on January 30, 2007, 17:24:42 pm Normally about 5 weekends out the whole year, which is why its been off the road for three years :(
Title: Re: How often do you work on your car? Post by: JS on January 30, 2007, 18:05:15 pm Not often enough unfortunately. But soon my new engine is ready and hopefully thatīll give me the inspiration Iīll need to get it finished by summer.
But as Beetlebug says, I work on the car every single day of the year - in my head :) Title: Re: How often do you work on your car? Post by: jick on January 30, 2007, 18:36:12 pm i only get to work on my car about 15-20 days a year.....its garaged about 130 miles from where i live..... >:(

In the summer: Maintenance depending on use or abuse In the authumn: Home calling and planning for the winter projects. Almost daily. Mid winter: Nothing, just working on other people cars to get some extra cash a couple of nights a week. The other nights I chase suppliers to get my stuff in time... Late winter: Daily to get the parts together. Spring: Day and night! Title: Re: How often do you work on your car? Post by: SOB/RFH on January 30, 2007, 21:45:36 pm My garage is too cold........or that is what I am saying to myself to stay away from ti and still be cool ::)..........but sitting silently in a chair producing exact plans on what I shall do at the time I get to my garage.......that is a lot of hard work!!! 8)
Title: Re: How often do you work on your car? Post by: Andi/DFL on January 31, 2007, 09:23:24 am I really had a hard time working on my car this winter. I parked it in the garage after DDD#4 and did nothing until 2 Weeks ago. I was even coming to the point of selling it and starting a new project, just because I was bored of my bug and wanted something else.
Two weeks ago I started to work on it again and it felt good. I liked to be oily and greasy again and there's nothing better than sitting on a pile of cool wheels and having dinner in your garage, mixing oil with french fries (I prefer eating them with a very small scredriver :-) Now I'm working like 3 hours 3 times a week on it, doing some maintenance and some changes for the 2007 season. Title: Re: How often do you work on your car? Post by: richarzzz on January 31, 2007, 17:06:57 pm during the racing season, i work as often as useful, mostly daily. after the season, i work about two nights during the week and every saturday the whole day (about 8 - 12 hours) to change some things at the racecar, built up a further project (t2b as a towcar) or modify the two street bugs (mod. 56 and mod. 75).
meanwhile, i'll spend most of the holiday for these hobby, so i'd reduced skiing/snowboarding and surfing/kitesurfing to a max of one week per year ::) but that's ok old vdubs rulez jens |
