Okay, so I was out in my garage, contemplating on more grinding on my 914, and also busting out the battery tray, grind under there to see how bad it is, etc.
But before I was out there for even a 1/2 hour, my fingers were numb. My garage is large (3 1/2 cars, with a second floor that is storage and may one day be a shop). It is seperate from the house, and it needs heat. Lots of work I can do this winter, but I need to be able to work w/o turning into a popcycle. Its built largely of cinderblock on the bottom, wood frame on the sencond floor. So what is the best way to heat it? I was considering a wood stove or something. What have other people done in this situation? Zach |

^^^^ this helps alot. Then something like below is what I use. There is some odor from the burnt kerosene but my garage can be heated from 40F to 70F in about 10 minutes. It's the only way to work in the garage in PA in the winter. Also have a 110V thermostat that goes between the AC wall plug and the heater and allows temperature control instead of having to plug and unplug the heater to maintain temps. I'm just getting ready to go out tonight to the garage to install a new front bumper cap on my 914 - in short sleeves!! Spoke Attached image(s)
