I work on mine in a heated garage...................

SteveSr

unheated so cal carage

I store/work/break my cars in an unheated 24x30 pole barn with concrete floor. It's currently filled completely with junk, er uhm 914s.

Rick

Don't we, as 914 owners, have to work on them EVERYWHERE we park?

(but I work on mine on the driveway... much to my neighbors griping)

Unheated S. FL garage, and if it is going to be getting colder than 60 when I am there, you better believe I will be buying a heater.

2 car garage attached to my house, and 10' away from my office. Problem is you might find me under the car instead of in front of the computer.

Oh yeah, and it has central AC with heat.

Luckily I have access to our fleet maintenance yard and can do the big stuff there. It's unheated except for a kerosene space heater. The small stuff I can do in the garage at the house. That is if I ever get the big stuff done and actually get it back to the house.

Big 2 car garage.
No heat.
No A/C.
Big fan.
Fridge with cold beer.

unheated garage

long underwear, flannel pants, jeans, undersirt, thermal shirt, sweatshirt, and fleece jacket all at once make heating unecessary . . . at least so far. Dealt with 35 degrees so far.

Unheated 3 car garage attachted to the house. Coldest temp so far while working on engine rebuild 15 deg F. I have a space heater that I put right next to where I am working so I don't totaly freeze, but the polypro long underwear helps a bunch.

Unheated 2 car attached garage, or the driveway. I have too many projects to do everything in the garage. And if it's less than 50dF out, I sit in the nice, warm house and leave the projects alone. I'm a wuss...

I have a small house with a detached single car garage, just keep the car in there during the summer, and can do small stuff there or in my driveway, but the major stuff I do at the house I grew up in - 2.5 car, lotsa room, big compressor, and a 150,000btu kerosene salamander that blows a big stinky, smokey jet engine mess when you start it up. I store the car there during the winter and get to work on it during the winter downtime. It's really a nice setup. Plus, I get mom's cookin' as the bonus - "Oh dear you have to come over, I made too much lasagna".....
I'm Italian, I can't pass up food.
EVER....

Keep all my tools (2 rollarounds and lotta small stuff), dirtbike and all the riding gear on my porch (good sized and heated too). Was never an issue until I got my 914, but because I don't have a real garage yet, now I have car stuff inter-mingling with my offroad stuff - OH the humanity!

I want a 4 car attached garage - one bay for the Jeep, one bay for the wife's car (need a woman to marry first I suppose ) one for the 914, and one for the offroad stuff.
Then, I will be complete........

on the side of the road.....

otherwise in my unheated garage.

heated 2.5 attached garage

i hate you guys.


i work on my 914 in a parking lot in front of my apartment. neighbors love when it's on jackstands.

One of those unheated leaky mobile garage in my yard.

unheated underfloor parking lot
it's for about 20 cars and belongs to the house where my appartement is in
I've got a 2-car-area for my daily driver and my 914
"easy work" I can do there, if there's more to do I get help from a friend who has access to a big truck storage with fully suplied garage

drive way.

Small corner of 5000 sqft heated warehouse at work.

once i get it running i'll be able to take it to work and wrench on it. i work at a toyota dealer. i love working on a car with a lift. it's the best. beats crawling around on the damn floor.

Nathan, if you saw what I pay for the house that's attached to that 2 car garage, you'd not be complaining. I'll bet you could rent 10 apartments for the total outlay (mortgage, taxes, insurance), and I can't call a super to fix my plumbing problems (for free). There has to be SOME compensation for all that dosh...

Ghetto jungle back yard littered with cat shit and mud I guess my "car lot" is depressing the hookers and drug dealers

In the 3 car attached heated garage Life is good. Oh, and my office is above the garage. Got to love that 14 stair step commute

Detached Heated 3 Car Garage

Oh yea,almost forgot.........fridge/

20 X 50 heated shop under the house

un-heated 3 car garage, behind the house..P.O put it in about 10 years ago, and put in 240 electric, sep breakers, and lots of head room...eventually I may get a lift..

unheated/cooled garage, when it's nice out

900 sq ft Heated 3 car garage with a lift. It will have central heat and AC next summer.

Yep..love standing up to do a valve adjustment. Plus the lift makes dropping a motor a breeze.....

I have a 2 car garage that with all my junk in it, holds one car. The only time it is heated is when I turn on my little space heater. Lately, that has been daily. The heater barely keeps it warm on some days and cooks you out others. Soon I will pull my car out and clean everything out and then put the car back in. Where it belongs.

heated and cooled driveway, all done by mother nature inc.

the garage is too small to actually work inside, so i have to push the car in the drive way to work on it

lmao.... point taken.

i think i'll go write my rent check right now. or should i just pay cash?

Attached 2 car garage. Use a 50K BTU kerosene heater w/thermostat in the winter. No AC. The heater allows me to wash my cars in the garage during the winter. My wife hates the ice slicks on the driveway in the winter when washing cars, but then again I'm the only one on the block with clean cars in the winter. My black Audi A6 looks like crap after a snow storm so washing it is a must.

Out in the driveway . . .

If I work on the car (which I haven't for months), it's in the garage
I have a small gasoline heater...

28' X 34' X 10' heated slab, 2" X 6" walls, 1/2 story for storage. I built it. I cut every one of the cedar shakes on the gable. Ya, I know.. I can't leave anything alone! BTW:






The MGA is for sale.... shameless plug...

Two-car carport for me. Sometimes I think of closing it in, but can't bring myself to do it. The house is a "mid-century classic" built in '55 and is something of a time-capsul. Here it is clean.

Here it is dirty.

My working place is a 2 car garage in Bartlett, TN where it 's always too hot in the Summer even with a ceiling fan and too cold in the Winter even when I can borrow my wife's ear muffs. Thanks for sharing your work place info.
1975 1.8 FI and a very cold concrete floor today.

Carpet scraps on the concrete floor will make things a lot more tolerable.

I work on mine at the in-laws where they allowed me to put up a 30'x20' 2-car carport with lockable storage. Also built a 20'x20' 2-car carport next to it for the other car. I currently own 3 teeners. These are open-sided garages with concrete floors, no A/C or heat, but then this if FL and if you can't take the heat, move north. It never gets cold here (BTW, this morning was 28 deg).

Here's the 30'x'20' garage.....

Under house single car garage - 30 feet deep. Heated with my dryer vent, nice and toasty, but have throw that puppy out the door when drying clothes to keep the lint off the teener.

And one of those blue elementary school gym mats. works great!

Big stuff I do in the big enclosed concreted building (work) across the street. Little stuff (or no stuff) I do in the car hole I built for it.

Front lawn....it sucks............

before

now a 10 x 20 rental storage

2-car. 914RS is the only resident. Propane heater if necessary (I'm definitely not in Orlando anymore):

I hate doing that. Here's the pic:

First off, I'm spoiled as hell.....

My home shop is a 36'x60'X12' heated stick-built building with heat, hot & cold running water, a bathroom, a 25" color TV, Lift, Alignment Machine, 914 Roticorie, Sand Blast Cabinet, Tire Changer, Tire Balancer, bla, bla, bla........

You want air conditioning? Not yet, but will be!
