bungy 2 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 My garage had turned into the normal dumping ground and so today I had a little tidy up. Really need to weed it out so that there is nothing down either side but i've amassed so much stuff that's too good to throw away. My floor is showing the battle scars of 2 car restorations and will need painting again. /img] Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I know the feeling mate. My last restoration spent an age up on axle stands as I detailed the underside. Not a vw though so i'll spare you the photo's. Link to post Share on other sites

I like the idea of leaving the car at work for those "weekend jobs". Cunning as a cunning fox that's had cunning lessons from a cunning master. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 A good security measure if you have an up and over door and a side entry door is to either drill the door runners and put 1" padlocks throught the holes and use the side door, or drill through the bottom corners of the door and into the concrete and use 6" nails as drop pins. Most garages get broken into by forcing the bottom corners of the door. I've even known a favourite on another owners club was to leave a baby monitor plugged in and the other end in your bedroom after repeated breakins. Hope it never happens to any on here.
